[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1513446, member: 565696"] Hey guys, i tried searching old threads, and was having trouble finding the answer to a should-be simple question: If you have an active x-over in your headunit, and also a x-over on your amp, which should you use to set...... -Low-pass filter for your sub channel? -High pass filter for your components/ full ranges? Thanks a lot. If there's already a thread like this i apologize, but now there's one that's search-friendly [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Just wasn't sure if it's better to set both x-overs the same, or if it's ok to use the amp just to set your sub-sonic, and use the active x-overs in the HU to set the actual low and high-pass filters. I also wasn't sure if leaving the low pass on your sub-channel open ended (not setting it on the amp) would cause a power-loss since you're not restricting the freq. band the amp's actually trying to, well, amplify? Thanks a lot! [/QUOTE]
