what is bandpass on amps ?

[big scott]

hi guys,

i have done a lot of searching on this topic " what is bandpass crossover "

and i cant seem to get a strait answer .

i did read on one site were it says.

" bandpass is for adjusting the low cut off and the high cut off "

meaning i can run my 8" bass speakers on bandpass and have them play ( 70hz to 200hz ) is this right ?

what has me confused is my amp as a switch position thats

((( lp/bp mono 12db and lp/bp stereo 24db)))

. so what is it?

lp is for setting your low pass crossovers. say i set it for 80hz. it will play from 80hz down.

o and my amp is a us acoustics barbara ann 4ch .

you are setting a "passband" meaning no freqs lower or higher then that passband will be played. Will probably want to read up on xover points/slopes to see how they interact...
