    Funny you should ask...

    The selection for the Peavey is WRONG anyway :lol:

    "We don't need no stinkin presets..." :mrgreen:

    But your woefully short on information here...What tops.. and what amps? ...it matters...

    I'll "Roll" you a setup, or you can read the "READ ME FIRST BEFORE POSTING" :mrgreen: Or you can read this thread in the "READ ME FIRST BEFORE POSTING" section:

    viewtopic.php?f=60&t=1196

    At any rate you will need to provide ALL the information to get the help you ask for...

    My tops are Peavey SP3's, im running those in stereo with a QSC PLX3602 & for
    the Peavey SP218 Subs i'll be running 2 crown XTI4002's in bridge/mono (1 sub for each amp).

    Yes, well...all this is spelled out in the READ ME FIRST section so we don't have to drag the information out of you...There are reasons we need all the info, one, is that heavily compressed music, like CD/MP3 needs to have the amps powering the speakers very close to the continuous rating of the speakers, NOT RMS, or peak, but continuous/program. Otherwise the speakers could be damaged by heat buildup over time.

    Unless you WANT to sustain Damage to your speakers?

    The tops look fine, but your a little long on power for the subs. I might suggest you incorporate the Limiter on the 4002's...

    As for numbers,
    Subs:
    HPF 40hz BW18
    LPF 100hz LR24
    tops:
    HPF 100hz LR24
