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

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

[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.

[kearneytyrone]

get a drive rack .that ,s not going to getit

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

..Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

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.

[electrohippyj]

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?

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 ?

@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..

You sound like David Cameron but I trust you!

Thanks for the lesson!

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