What subwoofer slope do you use? -6db? -12db? -18db?

[WOT]

I have my mids crossed @ -12db just because that is what was recomended to me by the speakers guys. But I really dont exactly know what this does.

What do you guys cross your subwoofers @? Any reason specifically?

This is how steeply the frequencies are cut-off from your subwoofer.

The high the number, the steeper (quicker) the frequencies are cut.

It also helps in blending speakers in with eachother.

What subwoofer and what type of box?

Generally, sealed boxes play higher than ported. So, sealed boxes you can use a higher frequency and a more shallow slope. With ported, you may want to use a lower frequency and a steeper slope.

It also depends on your mid/midbass... if it can extend low enough to match up with your chosen subwoofer point.

I'd recommend 12 or 18dB as the other is too shallow.

My subs are 60dB/oct slope, generally cut off around 50 or 63Hz.

sub is at 63hz/12db, then the mids take over at 80hz/12db.

You want to run a 48db slope with a bandpass setup? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

In my daily driver it is 36db at 50hz I think, will have to check to make sure.
