[QUOTE="jatyro91, post: 8385374, member: 665884"] I am completely illiterate when it comes to audio terminology. I know I like things to sound good, that's the extent of my knowledge. I've had a set of JL Audio 12's and a Boss R2000M Monoblock Amp for a while now, and decided I needed to finally upgrade my HU. Because I was using my factory radio, I've had the amp connected to the back left speaker with a convertor box. Now that i'm replacing the HU, I'm going to run the amp to the stereo. The guy who sold me the 12's said my amp's crossover frequency should be set at about 80hz as the basic standard for a pair of JLs. Now, looking into the HU I'm buying (Pioneer AVHX2700BS) I've learned it has built in subwoofer crossover points that are predetermined at 50hz, 63zh, 125hz and 200hz. So my questions are. Are these two different crossovers the same thing? What should I know about setting them? Do they need to be set at the same Hz? Suggested setting for mostly rap music or metal? Please don't tell me to listen by ear because for whatever reason I only know what sounds good and what sounds super bad but rarely in between. Current Set-up Boss Riot Series R2000M Monoblock Using the RCA Cables from a Boss 8-gauge Amp Kit 4g Power Wire and Ground 2 JL Audio (Assuming W0 series, bought them from an authorized dealer already installed in a ported box) Along with the new HU, I'll be replacing all 4 of my speakers with Pioneer D-series (2x6.5 & 2x6.9s) No 4 channel amp as of yet. Any other suggestions for my set up would be lovely, too. [/QUOTE]
