I'm assuming you're talking about crossover frequency on the filter on the amp? There is no right or wrong answer. You just need to make sure that the high pass filter on the head unit for the in car speakers, and the low pass filter on the amp for the sub is the same. This makes sure that no high parts are played on the sub, and no low parts are played on the speakers in the car. I would suggest 80-100 Hz but it's really up to what you like.

p***s or v****a?

Answer 5

60-180hz???

I don't know, my Alpine amps just had "gain" adjustments on them for more or less bass, not like a home receiver, where you can set the cutoff or crossover frequency for your sub in a 5.1 system.

Good luck!

you need to find the frequency range of your rear deck speakers and set your  subs to pick up where they leave off. so for example if you have a forty hz for your low end range of the speakers then set your subs somewhere in that range and tweak it to find how you like it.

band pass boxes have a very narrow freq. range they are tuned to. if you know the range the box is tuned to, set your amp settings to match.
