Default Speaker CrossOver Switches Settings?

Hi,
My I.C.E. install came to a halt as there was little in the way of sound coming through the HU to Amp to Crossovers to speakers?

I'm still missing my passenger seat and have bits all over the passenger seat bay.

In short nothing worked.

So I've done some testing, going back to direct connections and changing things around, plugging in this to that and found the crossover had a loose/cracked solder point. It looks like it took a knock and cracked the pin. Stripped out, de-soldered re-soldered and it looks to have solve it. Will have a go tomorrow and see how it goes.

I do have a question about the settings of the switches in the Crossover.

This picture shows a graph and the switch position selects SQ1 or SQ2.



I'm using a Genesis Profile 2 amp; connected to Boston Acoustic Z6's can anyone help with the setting of the SQ1, SQ2.
I'm sure you need more info, I've linked to both components where the data sheets are.

Depends on your personal preference, how you want it to sound I think Al. I played with my settings and couldn't really hear a difference!! (too much wax)

depends on how it sounds..

BTW that graph is completely meaningless without a scale on the left hand side. If the differance between the two curves is only 0.1 db the you'll never hear any differance. If it's 10 db then you might.
