Alpine 9853 has two options to choose from:3-way & F/R sub-W and i have chosen later,2-way one.
As my system is like 3-way,should i choose 3-way system switch[there is a switch on bottom of HU where this can be done] for x-over setting.
Dear JB & Gunbir,u remeber when i told u about this setting?
Crutchfield hands on research says ........ 6-Position Digital Crossover with Adjustable Slope: The digital crossover allows you to choose from the following modes: - 2-way Mode: A continuously variable 20-200Hz low-pass filter is available for the subwoofer outputs, and a continuously variable 20-200Hz high-pass filter is available for the front and rear preamp outputs. The slope for each filter can be set to 6, 12, 18, or 24dB/octave, or Flat. The level for each filter can be adjusted from 0 to -12dB.
- 3-way Mode: A continuously variable 20-200Hz low-pass filter is available for the subwoofer outputs, and a continuously variable 1-20kHz high-pass filter is available for the high-range speakers. The midrange speakers have a continuously variable 20Hz-20kHz low-pass filter and a continuously variable 20-200Hz high-pass filter. The slope for each filter can be set to 6, 12, 18, or 24dB/octave, or Flat. The level for each filter can be adjusted from 0 to -12dB.
And acc to its manual......... http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Man...500CDA9853.PDF
--The xover switch position for a 2-way system [freq range is divided between highs for front/rear and pows for subw]
