Still confused regarding set-up of amps?

[boostdfoci 10+ year member]

I have an Eclipse XA4000 and an XA1000.

The 4000 will be running both Memphis 6.5" components. If I am using the passive crossover, do I set the AMp to HP (if so what crossover point) or do I leave it full range? there is also a bass boost, what do I do with that?

I thought the crossovers on the speakers protect the highs from low and the lows from highs? Am I correct, what do I do?

I am running an Alpine CDA-9857 HU, Alpine PXA-H701 DSP, Eclipse XA-4000 to tow sets of Memphis MCSQ6.5, the Xa-1000 to two RF 8" stage 3's in JL microbox ported 2-ohm.

Set the crossover to HP and set the knob to ~80hz.

The crossover is only to remove the lows or highs, in your case the low range frequencies from your mid-range speakers.

Don't use the filter on the amp in favor of the much better filter in the PRA-H701. You've got that sweet processor, use it!

Your DSP unit has an excellent crossover built into it. It i much better than the one in the amp. Don't use the one on the amp. Use the one in the DSP.
