    Thanks in advance!!!!Two amps .The ep2500 for tops and crown xs700 bridged for 2 subs .I daisy chained the subs speakers.I did basic setup on the driverack px sterio mains with mono subs custom and gain structure 50 tops 50 subs not too sure about it though.I read a thread for crossover points. 45hz bw 18 lpf lr24 90hz and hpf 90hz lr24. Not sure about this either.I have not tried this with any power.Need some help searching for a good thread on starting point with the three out sub settings in setup x-xover . I am waiting to turn this system on. Again Thank you..

    Those numbers would work but I'd raise the xover point on the suns to 100 hz LR24 and raise the HPF of the subs to 50 hz BW18. Those really aren't subs but low mids as they are 10 dB down @ 45 hz, which means probably 3dB down @ 55-60hz...

    You are feeding the subs about 850 watts of power, and that's 1/2 what they suggest for headroom...the tops are similarly underpowered so be sure to do a good gain structure...
