[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 122628, member: 3950"] Re: Do you take your crossover for granted? [Powered Speakers] I use a pair of DSR112's over PRX618S-XLF's. The XLF high pass out is at 90 Hz. If I were to use the DSR112 HPF in, it is set at 120Hz (@-6db) which would leave a gap for sure. Instead, I run the tops full range and feed them with the output of the subs HPF output. The DSR112's have a particularly potent low mid punch for this class of speaker and price range. Feeding them some additional bottom works out pretty well .... but it might not with all speakers. I find that with the tops and subs balanced the way I like them for sound quality, the tops and subs are pretty close to limiting at about the same time. This particular combination of mismatched brands appears to be well suited when run this way. They sound fantastic. I suspect that someone that knows what they are doing with a dedicated cross-over is always going to get better results when using unmatched pairs of tops and subs. [/QUOTE]
