[QUOTE="Kevin Wright, post: 73665, member: 2727"] Re: HPF and LPF Crossover Curves Eric, you're absolutely right. It just takes one board reset to ruin perfectly good equipment. I get that. I threw out the "appeasement" line thinking I'd avoid something I typically see in forums, which is you ask how to do "A" and you end up with a bunch of reasons why you should do "B" instead. All very good points but not really answering the original question on "A". So my effort obviously backfired...;)~;-)~:wink: But you raise an important point and I am curious.
