I don't want any flaming.

Just want everyone's opinions. I currently have 3 amps installed in my S of which only 1 has internal x-overs.

Personally I don't see the need of having built in crossovers in my setup, 2 of the amps each run a set of components(that each have a set of x-overs), the third runs a sub and a set of bass shakers.

If you are running crossovers downstream of the amp and a good eq upstream from the amps what's the purpose of the builtin x-over. Is this just something for ease of mind for those running lower quality speakers? ie those running coaxials or other non-crossover setups?

Any benefits to producing cleaner sound with less THD? O

 

Most components have frequencies range of around 50Hz to 22kHz. The amp internal x-over should be set at high-pass and x-over point at 50Hz to prevent lower frequencies feeding the components. For sub-amp, the x-over should be set at low-pass and x-over point should be 50Hz or so. This is assume that your HU does not have sub-woofer output to drive the sub-amp.

 

that's what im set at. HPF for front and rear from HU. High setting on both comp amp and low setting with lower x-over point to the sub. and yes HU has a dedicated sub-output

Just wanted to hear everyone's opinions and in particular certain knowledgeable people on this board that love to flame.
