well i got my box built and got the amp all hooked up and all. but i don't know where to set the crossover setting at. its from 40 Hz - 130 Hz where should i put it? the box is built to something like 38 hz i think it was. i'd have to check again to make sure.

***, set it where you like it. just make sure there not distorting. its a personal preference. when i was working at extreme in tejas we would have it tuned perfect but, the customers would mess with it and it would sound like **** to me but, good to them. hop to it!!!!!!
what amp are you using???? is it for the hoe or the pissed off bumble bee.

well are you running front components? if you are running front components it really depends on where their crossover point is set at... if they can hit down to 60 hz and still be clear set the crossover for your subs at around 60 hz maybe a lil bit above that.. definately dont set the crossover point for the sub over 100hz that is the edge of the realm they were designed to play in... I have mine crossed over at just over 80hz because if i cross my components over any lower than 80hz they start to \distort at high volume.

i have the bose system in it. so i don't know where the highs are set to. i have the amp set right in the middle right now. which is probabl around 80hz. i like it there but i wasn't sure if i needed to move it. i know one thing for sure, for w1's and a box built for w6s. this thing pounds. i have the line converter turns almost all the way down and the amp turned half way and the bass turned half way. and at the 3rd bar on the stock head unit it will shake your hair lol.

i've never had an amp with this adjustment. it always says high pass, full, and low pass. its the tma 500.1 it seems to be a good amp from what i have read. and it sure as hell is the strongest i've owned yet. i've never needed alot of power.
