Very quick question

If i want to use my HU for crossover on my comp, does the switch on my amp have to be at "full"? the only other option is LPF and HPF. I know about the hpf and lpf but not sure about "full"

Full is to let every signal pass through unfiltered. I would set both of them IMO.

Humm...i'm only using this amp for my fronstage. I always thought that using only HPF was the thing to do?

Ok you're saying to use the HPF on the amp and crossover from HU?

Yep use both. Set them @ the same frequency.

Your comp set does not have a Crossover???

My amp is set @ 80hz and My HU @ 69hz. So when I switch my Headunit setting off, the amp takes over @ 80hz.

You can use the amp, hu, or both.

Yes it does. The only reason i wanted to use my HU for setting frequency is because it very hard to nail it on the amp. the steps on the knob are 65 hz per mm.

Never thought about that thanks:blush:

why would you turn it off on the headunit?
only use one, or the other, if you use both, then you'll have something like a 36dB per octave filter, which would mean you'd have to set the crossover point between the sub, and fronts very close, or you'll have a dip in the frequency response.

Right or wrong?

Back to square one lol.

Maybe I should mention I only turn the amps HPF on when the HU's is turned off.

I would set the amp to full and use your headunit to set everything.
