Need info for fine tuning.

[Mynameismcgyver 10+ year member]

I have a Sony XM-4060GTX 4 channel amp. I would like to take some of the low freq out of my rear speakers. Although Im not sure which setting to tune that will do that.

Help is appreciated.

set the crossovers to "HPF" (high pass filter). For 6.5's you'd generally want it at 60-80hz. 5.25's probably 70-90.

The object is to let them play as low as possible w/o distortion- especially if you don't have subs for the low freqs. If 60 sounds good try 50.

can you adjust the xovers on your amp. otherwise most hpf are fixed around 80hz

Well I have a Switch that says Filter- LPF Off HPF When i switch it to LPF I have no sound. When I switch it to HPF It sounds alright but I want something more in the middle. My objective here is to rid SOME of the Low's from the 6x9's

I also have a Low boost setting, no clue what that is.

So your telling me to try around 60ish...Is that with the switch off or..?

leave the low boost setting alone. if you cant adjust the xover freq. then just leave it with the hpf on

Ok. So the lower the number the more low's its going to let the speakers play correct?

 

[slain93gsr 10+ year member]

yep. but you have a fixed hpf setting so you will have to retune and see where you like your settings on ur HU

if it were adjustable you could change where you want your high pass point to be. example if you set it to 65hz it would play 65 hz notes and up
