What do you all set your amp's crossover to? I find that the flat setting allows to much bass through making the mids sound bad. I have the Infinity 6010cs system.

Thanks

Mine is set to around 80 hz HP. Sometimes I go up to a 100hz HP.

Depends, when I ran without a sub, 60hz @ 12db.

But now that I have a sub (and run 300+ watts each side) I went with 80hz just to stay on the safe side.

You just have to play with what works right in your situation.

general rule of thumb, low pass sub at 80, highpass speakers at 80

How do you like those speakers? I've got the 6012i Infinity speakers, but they are just "two-ways", not a component set. Right now they are running off deck power and tomorrow I'm hooking up a Fosgate P200-2 to them and hoping they'll sound a bit cleaner (with more midbass hopefully too) But if they don't, I was considering going with the 6010cs (unless I can get a great deal on some Focals although they are pricey up here)

My sub is an Infinity Perfect 12.1 (powered by a Fosgate P500-2) so I figured it might be a good idea to stick with Infinity speakers up front just to be consistent.

I have the 6010s and they are great for the money. I am running the Infinity perfect sub too. It is a great system for the budget. I picked up the 6010s and Perfect sub off ebay for a great price.

After I set up the system properly, They sound awesome to me. Crisp, clear and loud highs and nice mids. I purchased them from an Ebay store for $50 shipped. I did my whole system for under $700.

I have been an Infinity fan for a long time and will probably be for a long time.
