[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 121622, member: 272"] 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! [/QUOTE]
