What frequency do you have your crossover set at for your subs?

I voted 61-80 and am right at 80 now with a 18dB/Octave slope

Sometimes I will goto 63 with a 12dB/Octave slope

I am at 80 right now and I have been trying to do 63 but it just doesn't perform with my current setup!

Can you adjust the crossover slope?

Can you adjust the crossover slope?

I voted 81-100
Used to have it set on 90 cause of the way my box worked.
my amp(dont have now) had a knobby that let you pick the sensitivity of this crossover or something. Basically it let you picj how much you wanted on either side of it. so i had it on 80 with the other knob on 30 hz.
I always assumed that meant that it would play anything between 50 to 110 but that was probably wrong.

I think you have the crossover right but the other knob I believe if you look at it further is probably a subsonic filter. it determines how low the crossover goes. in your case it was set for 90 on the high end and 30 on the low end.
