[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 1895457, member: 562649"] Ok so just for shits and giggles I tuned my system using these exact points and slopes. Initial results were interesting. It definitely made my stage deeper and more diffuse/transparent sounding. With the sub crossed up that high, it really blends well with the mids. It also helped with the center image a bit....I had to readjust the T/A because it was too far to the passenger's side. I'm going to keep it here....or possibly bump the LP on the mids to 1K at 12db/oct for a few days to let it settle in. On the other hand, the music is too thin and seems to lack body. With the LP at 800Hz it does sound good at 12db/Oct....but any steeper it sounds like ass!! Kind of wierd. Also with the slope shallower, it really took the punch that mids normally have when crossed up around 1.6-2kHz with a 24db/oct slope. I've found that a steep slope on the LP really adds a great snap....a snap I really miss with the shallower slope. I guess I'm learing a lot about proper tuning here aren't I?!?!?

If not, then it sounds like I'm just listening to tweeters at higher volumes. With these points I noticed it sounded better with pop, jazz, and more melodic music....and really washed out and anemic with metal.
