Ok I have two Kicker sx1250.1's. On the Eq setting in the software (computer controlled) you have the Hp and Lp settings. You are able to pick any frequency from i think 10hz to 200hz. now the real problem for me is once I have both of them set there is now a slope setting that goes from 6db to 48db. The question is, how the heck do I set these? I set the LP @ 80hz and the slope at 24db. I then set the HP @ 20hz and that slope also at 24dbs. I am just going by the sound of it, all seems great and this amp has lots a features for sure, lol. Oh by the way under EQ is the bass Boost/cut feature. I have that set at 9db's which is half way through its range and use the remote to control it. Now under the same damn setting, WHAT THE HECK IS THE BANDWIDTH FOR? Has a setting from one to ten, mannnnnnn. Polo.. |

If you change from a 24 db slope to a 12, you will still be able to hit notes higher than 80 a little louder. What you really want to do is make your subs leave off at the exact frequency that your mids start at, so the response curve is nice and flat through any frequency range. Find a chart of someones response curves to better understand this. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11393 Registered: Dec-03 | nope/ I said what I meant to say. you don't match HP and LF frequencies or you get a warm spot. you want to leave about a 1 octave gap in there so the roll-off will compensate for the gap. HPF @ 120Hz 12dB slope LPF @ 60 to 80Hz, 18 to 24dB slope. |

Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 891 Registered: Oct-04 | Lewass, remember that the response from that driver ROLLS off, not just jumps off a cliff and stops. Although the midbasses are set to a crossover point of 120hz on a 12db slope, 60hz is playing at -12db, 30hz is playing at -24db, etc. Likewise, with the sub, if you were using a crossover point of 80hz, on a 24db slope, 160hz would be playing at -24db, 320hz would be playing at -48db. |

Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 756 Registered: Jan-06 | ok here's the dilly YO!!! lol, slightly tipsy right now but all is good. Anyways, with controlling crossovrt points there are a few things to remember. One is that the slope effects to roll-off from the crossover point. basically the steeper the slope the more dramatic cutoff the frequency is after the crossover point. secondly, crossover points should either not be overlapping or if they do make sure they don't interfere with each other(cancellation). If i were you i'd set the HP to say 100hz with a 6db slope and the LPF at 100hz at 18 or 24db slope and go from there. Alot will have to be adjusted after that by ear but it'll give you a starting point. |
