What settings?

[v.halen85 10+ year member]

Yes, I have a elemental designs 9.2 and a ID CXS62 V.2 comp set and I have no idea what the settings on the amp need to be set at. I am using the passive crossovers that come in the set.

My amp has a

Gain dial

Bass boost dial

HPF dial

LPF dial

Any help on where I should start at with my settings would be much appreciated. My main question is about the HPF and the LPF I have gain half way up and bass boost off.

set your amp to HPF , turn the dial up between 50-80hz , turn you gain all the way down , turn your decks volume knob up about 3/4 of the way , then turn your gain on the amp up till its as loud as possible but still clear and clean. Should be fine after that.

thx for the reply disturbed.

Bassin so I just turn the switch to hpf only and leave the lpf off? The freq range for the comps are 60-22k. Bass bosst off correct?

bass boost off, hpf on and lpf off. you would only use the lpf if you wanted to use subs on that amp

So set hpf to 80 and all should be good? By doin that would I lose the 60-80hz range my mids are good for? Setting to 80 would doing this still allow my tweets to get their approved freq range 2500-22k?? Thx so much guys Ive has this hooked up since friday but to afraid to turn it on until I am sure my setting are correct.

that comp set should have a crossover so the tweets are actually getting high pass'd at like 2k Hz or whatever. High pass of 80 will cut off anything below 80hz, yes

So since the tweets are getting high passed at 2k then by turning my hpf on 80 wouldnt that hurt the tweets?? Or is the hpf setting for this mids? So wouldnt I want to set the hpf if all it does is protect the mids to 60hz since thats the freq range of my mids Im confused.

Yeah the hpf is just for the mids, the tweeters have their own crossover
