Re: Advice on new set upAmong others, I own a pair of Yorkville ES700P subs and used them with Yorkville NX550P tops for a few years. The tops had a 100 Hz HPF. No matter what I did I couldn't get the subs to sound right. I ran some RTA tests and discovered the sweepable filter on the sub was, well frankly it was junk. I added a crossover and all that mid bass yuckiness went away and those little guys sounded like real "big boy" subs.Perhaps the 801P's are different, but I'd doub it. So, while you don't have to use a crossover with Yorkie subs, I'd highly recommend it.
