Crossover point Q?

[walterw]

Do you know how to control that amp? If not, read the manual, then re-read it. Until then, you won't really know what it's capable of and how it can work for you. It has compression, limiting, crossovers and IIRC, it can do parametric equalization.

yeah, but "crossover mode"-->100Hz (maybe 125Hz, since the subs are big and the tops are small)-->subs on one side, tops on the other" is pretty straightforward.

that other mess might be best left bypassed, except for maybe a 30-40Hz high pass on the "subs" side, if it's available.

I run active mackie 12" tops with 2 dual 15" subs. Subs are Dayton PA Pro woofers in old EV 4th order bandpass boxes. I push them with a QSC GX5 at 725 watts per side, 4 ohms. I bypassed the passive crossover in the boxes and use a dbx active crossover at about 200 Hz, but only cause the mackie tops don't seem to like anything lower than 150 hz. Crossover any higher and it gets very boomy. So for my system, 200 is the magic number.
