Cross over suggestions please

#1 Post by Rob Shasta Guitar »

I have my sla pro's with the 5" drivers done, and a lovely13" wide t39 with bp102, powered by a carvin dcm2004lx. I'm a singer guitar player who plays a lot of alternating bass style, so I think I'd like my crossover set kinda high to get my bass strings into the sub.

I have my first gig with these tomorrow night in a small room, and I don't really have time to just play with settings, so I'm hoping for some suggestions. Right now I have both crossing over at 150hz. I can sing down to 80 hz.

I read a bit about aux feeding the sub, and that does sound like a nice idea to have a x over point high and then send a little less vocal to the sub mix as I found a few notes get boomy in the voice.

I use the first aux send to take my clean guitar, then insert compression, then to the aux that feeds the stereo effects, so I can blend a clean and effects tone.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'd never go over 120. Actually, I'd run at 95-100.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.

That's fixed with EQ, not the crossover frequency.
