[QUOTE="frankiebones, post: 2449572, member: 567452"] based on the settings i saw suleman (shout out!) use for his pioneer 7800, i set my: HPF @ 100 Hz, -6 dB/ocatave LPF @ 80 Hz, -18 dB/octave previously, i had it set at: HPF @ 80 Hz, -12 dB/octave LPF also @ 80 Hz, -18 dB/octave all these settings refer to settings on the HU. is this what is referred to as "staggering" your crossover pts. now i know everyones car, setup, gain settings, etc. are diff., but why does it sound so much better? is it bc the morel components dont have to go as low in terms of the frequencies they are responsible for producing? what does this actually look like? here was my very rough and not-drawn-to-scale approximation: [IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e164/fcelau1/approximationofcrossoverpoint.jpg[/IMG] in case that pic doesnt show, heres the link [URL="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e164/fcelau1/approximationofcrossoverpoint.jpg"]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e164/fcelau1/approximationofcrossoverpoint.jpg[/URL] [/QUOTE]
