[kearneytyrone]

[FattyArbuckle1981]

I'd chop off my pee-pee before I'll ever buy a peavey.

..Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Can you run from a XO off the low frequency output to an amp that runs subs, and off the high frequency output to powered speakers as your mains?

If so, how would you tune that?

[tnkdanio]

Thanks, really helpful, now I can get my stereo set up right!

[B7Aminor]

Does Peavey supply the butter knife for twisting the crossover frequency,or do you purchase it Separately ?

[NeilAppz]

can you please telll me how you did this setup ?

[DJMilkMan12]

Hey I was wondering if you could plug passive and active speakers into one crossover

[charqui101]

nice video 

[cumesoftware]

Isn't it dangerous to set the crossover point so low? You might end up damaging the tweeter/horn, or am I wrong? I would appreciate your though on this.

[ThePartnerSubscriber]

@cumesoftware no because the speaker will have its own (passive) crossover

[cumesoftware]

@ThePartnerSubscriber Most horns don't have passive crossovers or any hi pass filters! That's why I'm asking.

Hey Bud! Just wanted to ask.. i have a mixer with 2 outputs, one amp & 2 mid/trebble speakers. my question is i've recently baught a bass bin now obviously i need an amp but there's a problem i need controlls for the bass bin otherwise i'm going to get the same sound imput (treb/mid/bass Controls from my mixer) as the bass bin. does this crossover solve this issue? & can it be connected from the mixer and into the amp? Reply would be a great help?

@MrTopsykretts11

I'm not the OP, but I can answer this basic question, even though I'm no expert. It's prolly too late, but if someone else wanted to know, I'll answer anyway.

-Yes, that is what a crossover is for. It makes your sub play only bass from one amp (or channel), and your mid/high speaker play only mid/high from another amp (or channel).

-Yes, you will need to get an an amp to run the sub. Make sure the amp you get is matched, as far as RMS power is concerned, with your sub.

[defcon1up]

how do you set a cross over with a 30 band gemini eq mixer three amps on a three speaker system to get the best possible sound thanks defcon 1

[wrmaplpi]

Wow! Great explanation. Crossovers are very confusing to some people. I like the way you demo'd your crossover.  I think I'm going to try that with my PA. It will help me find the sweet spots for my speakers and sub. Thanks for the vid.

[robjcrowston]

oh, i have that exact crossover!

great vid, J!

[love2sex2girls]

i will like to see the back of this want to no how to set that up

[seanmillerr]

good butter cutting skills:)

[KIMBOSCILE]

lol hache ahla hach H

lol man

LMAO.

[omairgeforce]

mine friend is not able to understand that cross over , i have given this link , hope fully its will help him to understand the use of crossover and what does cross over do

[djpatg]

Can Run the Crossover out the HIGH SIDE to active Speakers for the Highs And Mids, and then the LOW SIDE to a regular AMP then then from the AMP to Subs??

[TimpBizkit]

I couldn't work out the scale on the crossover. It's actually 100Hz to 2kHz

[IntermittentSprocket]

Get in there with the bread knife. What type of crossover filters does the crossover support? I use Behringer DCX2496 and wish I had the money for several dbx4800 that the Empire Leicester square uses with its 56KW THX sound system.

[elpicos8091]

i have a peavey 18 sub and 2 peaveys 3 way speakers, and a 2 channel amp from qsc. What cross over will you recommend?

[j0e15]

as a standard. bass should be ran from 120hz below. if horn loaded. go with 75hz and below.

[c0nn0lly07]

hi j!!

where is the best place to set the dial?

[ellaskins]

To c0nn0lly07, all depends on the speaker and the size of the bass cab. I generaly set it to X over at 100HZ, this way you just kake out the low bass from the mid top and then get a good low feel to the bass. j

[pitudo69]

@c0nn0lly07 Most of the time in a 2 way system like this the crossover position should work out fine between 80-120hz. The guy in the tutorial refers to the 20 as a 20k frequency but clearly the eq panel goes from 1-20 but there is a "100x" meaning the number on the panel "times 100= frequency" Therefore this adjustment pot goes from 100 to 2000 hz, New and better x-overs i.e. Ashly XR1001 have better x-over points, response and hi-pass filters on mono 2 or 3 way or stereo 2 way..

[sleeperawaken36]

Good explanation. :)

[DJMGM88]

Great video,

Now, how would you tune that 'knobbly bit'???, would you tune it to the point where both high and low speakers are getting there respective frequencies or is it different???...
