General settings help * 3way
Here's my set up, I am wondering how you guys set the mid bass/ mid Crossover.

Focal K2P 6.5 mid bass, 4" mid, tweeter, 11"V2 Sub. Mid bass has seperate amp 120 watt per, mid/tweeter has 70 watt per.

Personally I like to run the mid as low as it will tolerate without getting honky or breaking up. Then I set the midbass in the same general area.

This tends to result in 150-400hz depending on the midrange.

If you can, do the same thing with your midbase to your sub, I would suggest a range of around 80 to > 150.
