Begin bringing this control up clockwise a click at a time until it becomes noticeably too boomy. As it does so, reduce the Gain control a click and see if everything rebalances. If it does, keep turning up the crossover until it booms again a click or two and again reduce the gain a click or so. There is an inverse relationship between Gain and Crossover. This means that the higher in frequency clicks to the right you turn up the crossover, the lower you will need to set the Gain control.
This is where folks start to run into problems. Going farther will result in more loudness, but at the expense of heaviness, a sort of plum-iness sets in. Things like a baritone male voice will start to sound too thick and rich and speech clarity will begin to be affected. Conversely, reducing the crossover by two or three clicks will instantly restore the hard-edged sound to the middle ranges of music and make things sound colder and drier.
Move slowly, a click down on crossover may be all that is required. If you have any questions about setting the crossover frequency or system set-up in general, leave it in the comments or contact our Sound Experts at custservice svsound.

BTW, i prefer the crossover brand to be a Audiocontrol product. Was going to go with Audiocontrol amps but don't want to spend more money when i already have new amps from CT Sounds.
Thanks ya'll:. So I have a home reciever that is w x2 and I want to add crossovers in my speakers the crossovers I have say w rms w peak will it still work. I have a factory radio on a Nissan Frontier. Wanting to keep the head unit but add an amp and active crossover for highs and mids. Already have a amp and two tens under the back seat for the bass tied in to a output converter from the rear door speakers. What would I need as far as wiring to tie into the factory head unit to run to the crossover?
Hi I have questions to the in-line crossover: based on my understanding, normally the in-line crossover is a wired capacitor, and it should be wired between amp and tweeter, or midrange and tweeter. Why in this article, the in line crossover is connecting before the amp? Such great food for thought! Your article took much of the guesswork out of the issue I seemed to be having with a recent upgrade. I was admittedly confused why the sound produced from the new unit with a multi-band equalizer failed to sound as dynamic as the sound pumped out of the OEM product.
Playing with the equalizer helped a bit, but still didn't sound the same. I was avoiding the crossover setting until now. This is indicative of the 2nd and 3rd order effects I was hoping to avoid with a head unit upgrade. But, I suppose they are a large reason for them. If the byproduct of lost energy is heat, should I be worried about anything over heating, melting, or frying?
The North Carolina heat is enough to worry about in the summer. My question is, I purchased DS18 5x7 speakers for my truck now in the future I want to install an amplifier - woofer but don't want to blow out my door speakers of tweeters, what crossover do I need to avoid this? Thank you.. Hello Crutchfield, I have a question I am running a 7. The two 12" driver subwoofers are of the same brand and model, and both have a frequency range according the manufacturer of 28Hz - Hz.
The six main satellite speakers are all floor-standers of the same brand and model, with a frequency response down to around 56Hz. Originally I had the crossovers set at 80Hz the THX standard , but some movies played back at reference volume level definitely caused some unwanted audio distortion and strain on the satellite drivers.
I have since messed around with crossover settings in the Denon AVR and set all the satellites - including the centre and in-ceiling speakers - at the maximum crossover setting of Hz in the AVR.
To my ears, this sounds better in the lower mid-range for both movies and music, but especially for some movies that have some really aggressive notes in the bass range, and has eliminated the aforementioned distortion. I understand that higher frequencies are more localisable to the human ear, one of the reasons some people advise against having the crossovers set above 80Hz.
Personally, I haven't been able to localise any sounds from the two subwoofers even with the crossovers set within the Denon at Hz. My question is, will I be losing any sound in the audio frequency range by setting the crossovers at Hz? Passive crossovers are very easy to install, but active crossovers require a little more work.
