Re: Fact check, please.Why have output level knobs on the crossover at all if his is the correct method.I prefer to leave the amp attenuators at "0dB" as it's much harder for a casual user to accidentally turn things up higher -and for the regular user one quick glance at the amps can tell if anything has been changed versus trying to always remember certain channels are at -2, others are at -6 etc...Of course with DSP crossovers it's easy to lock them out so that their "knobs" aren't as easily changed and if they were then a quick preset recall gets everything back to nominal.If a HF device is grossly over-amped (such as thousands of watts into a 1" tweeter) that an amp adjustment is required then think about changing to a more appropriate size!
