[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 538967, member: 555320"] Ok.....sounds to me like you and him are talking about two different crossovers [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] You are talking about the crossover on the amp, he (the guy at the shop) is talking about the passive crossover that came with the component set. He is right, you don't want to remove the passive crossovers that came with the speakers.......and it doesn't sound like you had any intention of doing that; so that problem is solved, it was just a misunderstanding between the two of you. Now, onto what you were talking about; the crossover on the amp. You don't want that set to "full" in your circumstance IMO......you would want that set to highpass. The midrange/midbass Infinity drivers that came with the comp set weren't designed to play the subbass frequencies; this is what the sub is for [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] By running the Infinities "full range" you run the risk of bottoming them out with the subbass frequencies, or you simply won't be able to turn them up as loud without distortion/damage because they are playing the subbass frequencies. So you [B]do[/B] want to turn on the highpass on the amp. This does not effect the tweeters at all, just the mids. A typical highpass point on mids is *generally* around 60-100hz. It will also give you better midbass response by relieving them of trying to produce the subbass frequencies also. Now keep in mind that the "full" on the amp is different from the "flat" on the Infinity crossovers. The "flat" on the Infinity comps is more geared towards tuning (by reducing the midrange). The crossover on the amp is not only for tuning, but to also prevent damage. [/QUOTE]
