[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8670941, member: 650438"] you can leave the crossover off on the mid for the amp or if it goes down really low like 40 or 30hz, you can leave it on at the minimum crossover levels for extra protection from excursion on the low notes you can raise it a bit higher if your drivers pump out a **** ton of midbass even at 100hz at -24 db slope raising it up will technically count as a -36 db total slope at the point you leave it at. Its rare but some drivers run into mechanical issues from too much midbass/sub bass. leave it on around 1000hz high pass for the tweeters for a 2ndary protection barrier just in case you accidentally turn off the crossover on the amp by accident or the software bugs out. I generally have the amp gains around 30% or 40% and keep the levels down on the dsp and raise it up slowly from the dsp till you hear distortion aka speakers sounding like absolute **** as in peaky as fk, so you dont have to keep going back and forth to adjust the gain. looked up your amp, bridging should be simple channel 1 and 2 bridged for left mid 3 and 4 is bridged for right mid and 5 and 6 will be tweeters set on stereo mode. bridging will just get more power to your mids, it'll be 4 ohms bridged which will give you a lot of power to your mids which your mids definitely will love (just use a higher high pass crossover or steeper slope or a combination of the two if the midbass is pumping hard before you get the output you desire, thats how you keep from damaging it mechanically.
