Hi everyone,

I have Polk db 6510 (6.5") mid/woofers installed in my doors and a db 10" subwoofer in a sealed enclosure in my trunk. The high- and low-pass crossovers on my amp (Denon 760BL) are adjustable from 25 to 120 Hz. Given my speaker sizes, what's a good starting point for the crossover settings?

Thanks,
Jason

    Kim,

    Thanks for the tips. I'll try the 80-90 Hz crossover points.

    I've heard that it's good to have a little "overlap" between the high-pass and the low-pass crossovers. For example, the high pass could be set at 80 Hz and the low pass would be set at 100 Hz. Would you recommend something like this?

    Thanks again,
    Jason

    How low can I go with the high-pass crossover on the 6.5" drivers? I want to get some bass out of them, but I don't want to over work them.

    Thanks,
    Jason
