[QUOTE="neonblack, post: 7679834, member: 568995"] Adjust HPF and LPF on the amps with test tones. I would not set Low Pass above 60 Hz. (Subs are meant to play below 60 Hz. The low E on a guitar is 80 Hz so that gives you a reference point. You don't want that signal going thru your sub(s), you want it going thru your mids). The HPF and LPF have crossover slopes (see link) so the sub and mid signals will overlap somewhat as they descend and fade out. You have to use your ear and adjust crossovers to your liking.
