Silver Member Username: Killer44Ontario Canada Post Number: 493 Registered: Dec-04 | i have a PA ov2-300 powering my infinity 6.25's (reference series 60rms) the amp is 70x2 @4ohms(there overated so the extra 10watts wont hurt...rite?) and i have the bass boost off and there is a LPF and HPF switch (with one a spot in the midlle of both that says full(im guessing its both) but my question is what should i have it to LPF(when its one LPF it sounds like sh!t, b/c im pretty sure its for subs) on HPF it sounds good, then in the middle i like the bass and sq it does...my question is there are settings for each filter setting what should i have it set too? http://poweracoustik.com/gothicseries.html thanx in advance |

HPF allows frequencies above the set frequency to get to the speakers, and LPF lets the frequencies below the set frequency to the speakers. HPF is for speakers, LPF is for subs. |

Silver Member Username: Killer44Ontario Canada Post Number: 494 Registered: Dec-04 | bradon, is it bad for your speakers (and amp) to have the gain(voltage) set lower then the preout voltage on the h/u i know its bad to have it higher then the h/u but what about lower, cuz on my one amp i got it lower h/u=2.5 and its around 1.5 and it sounds the best @ this point...and another question there is no markings as to what the range is on the PA amp on the amp itself and there is not info on the website, could u make a guess as to what the range would be....thanx |
