What should my crossover setting be?

What should my crossover setting be?

Set the crossover point around 10 Hz below the lowest frequency your speakers can produce without issue. (keep in mind that the most common recommendation for crossover frequency is 80 Hz).

How do you adjust crossover component speakers?

If the coaxial speakers to use a passive crossover network, the crossovers should be set the same as the component speakers mentioned above. Recommended Starting Points: Front Component Speakers – High-Pass Filter = 80 Hz (12 db or 24 db Slope) Rear Coaxial Speakers – High-Pass Filter = 80 Hz (12 db or 24 db Slope)

What is the best HPF setting?

Thus, the recommended settings are an HPF (5000 Hz) for the front tweeters, an HPF (80 Hz) for the front midrange, an HPF (80 Hz) for rear speakers, and 12 dB or 24dB slope. If rear speakers (passive) are added to this system, the settings will change a little bit.

What crossover frequency should I set my subwoofer?

You usually set the HPF with a steep slope say 24db/octave because you are trying to protect the sub from damage and a 12-18db/octave on the LPF because you want it to kinda “blend” in with your mids. The steeper the slope (db/octave) the less your sub will creep into the neighboring frequencies.

What is HPF crossover?

A highpass filter (HPF) works to block unwanted frequencies in the audio signal output (low frequency sounds) below the crossover point from reaching a speaker. Everything above the crossover point will be allowed to pass.
