well, the high pass settings on your HU are for the speakers. you want them around 80-125Hz. the low pass settings are for the sub and you want them set around 60-100Hz. thru means it will not filter the signal from the HU, so you'll have to use the filters on the amps or you will get too large a frequency range to the speakers.
what kind of filters are the 50Hz and 120Hz settings on the amp?? high or low pass??
set the high pass to 100Hz and the low pass to 80Hz. thats what i'd do but you gotta make sure the amp settings won't interfere with the HU settings it you can get weird results. |
