I think there is something wrong with my crossover settings...please help


When I vary the crossover settings from 40 to 120, it seems like I get pretty much the same respone curves. I have the mains disconnected and the sub on. Here are my responses. I have set the target settings (for each reading) to the target cut off that I am setting the crossover to. They are in the following order:
1. @ 40 Hz
2. @ 60 Hz
3. @ 80 Hz
4. @ 100 Hz
5. @ 120 Hz
6. All measured

Shouldn't the measurements be further apart?

Re: I think there is something wrong with my crossover settings...please help


Well, I think I figured it out. I have an Outlaw Audio ICBM for bass management because my preamp only has a crossover of 100 Hz and no other options. In order to take advantage of this I need to set my speakers to large and then do the bass management in my ICBM. The problem was that I set the subwoofer to 'on' in the preamp so the crossover of the preamp (100 Hz) was still being used. I will post the new results tonight but I'm pretty sure that's what was happening. The new results are much more seperated.
