    Jimmy,

    the short of it...
    subs
    BW 18@ 45 hz HPF
    LR 24@ 120hz HPF
    mids
    LR 24@ 120HZ HPF
    LR 24@ 2khz LPF
    horns
    LR 24@ 2KHZ

    You don't have enough delay for those subs so just see, by varying the delay, if there is point where they sound better, (BTWdelay the tops and horns NOT the subs...

    Next do a gain structure as par the back of the manual

    then using the amp controls, turn down whichever the loudest of the components are till there is a good ballance between lows, mids and highs...

    EQ to taste

    save the config to a convennient location for later recall

    let me know...

  • And, I recommend removing the BBE out of the system. More hassle than it's worth, and too much negative coloration.

    Geez thanks Coop! In my haste I missed that completely! Yes, get that BBE the heck out of there!

    As I look at the list.. why are you using the 1802 an amp that only has 330 watts per speaker for the mids, when you have an amp, the BEH 2500, that gives 750? If you are using the onboard amp limiters you are also decreasing the available power...

    also do NOT use the compressor! todays pre-recorded music is already super heavily compressed.

    Try that

    I am in your corner when it comes to the BBE. ;)

    I even turned it off on my Panny HD plasma!
