[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8836020, member: 674149"] There's no harm in using multiple crossovers, there just isn't really a point. You should compare them and see if you might be able to use both. Might be able to use a HPF on one and a LPF on the other to really narrow the frequency. Specifically setting the HPF on the head unit for the subs, and the LPF on the sub amp (to narrow their frequency to just the exact frequency range your subs are rated for), or LPF on the head unit for the components, and then the HPF on the components so you keep the low bass out of the components that is below their frequency. If you set the crossovers on the equipment, then they are mechanical and you won't lose the settings when you lose stored power to the head unit, (disconnect the battery). If you set the crossovers at the head unit, then you have to reset them, but you are sending out a more narrow frequency range for the amp to focus on. USE THE CROSSOVERS THAT COME WITH THE COMPONENTS. They are going to be at the right frequencies, and it will be plug and play. You won't have to reset them, and you won't have to worry about not resetting them. [/QUOTE]
