Crossover Settings?

bpd138 · 05-25-2009, 06:39 PM

Hello again,
I have a qusetion about crossover settings.

I have the kenwood DNX8120 HU and a Infinity Reference 475a Amp.

I'm running 6.5" Polk DB651 speakers in the doors and 3.5" Polk DB351 speakers in the rear.

My HU has the ability to set the crossover frequency and so does my Amp.

Do I need to set the crossver settings in both the HU and the Amp? Or is it one or the other? I'm not sure but I would think setting them both would be like doubling the effect?

Any suggestions on good starting points? I read somewhere that smaller speakers needed a higher setting, somewhere above 100hz and larger ones needed lower settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Take care,
Willie
