Bob Probert Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Hey guys. I have a Parasound AVC2500 Pre/Pro, that I have my SW12II hooked up to. This sub does not have the ability to turn off the crossover. Now I just sent my Parasound in to have the Bass Management/xover upgrade performed. I can select 1khz/80hz, 1khz/40hz, 40hz/40hz, or 80hz/80hz as my crossover points. Parasound says that I should choose one of the first two to use the xover in my sub...this will cut out double filtration. Would I be better off buying another sub that I can defeat the internal xover so that I can just use my preamp's. I would appreciate your help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Are your main speakers connected to the sub, or is it standalone? If it is standalone, can you set the xover to its highest point (like 120hz) even if you can't defeat it? If so, that should give you enough room so you don't have double-filtering happen, if your Parasound is filtering at 80hz. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 There is no way to defeat the internal crossover. Parasound is giving good direction on best approach. If you send the sub a signal filtered at a frequency far different from the sub's filter, you will get no problems from double filtering.

Bob Probert Posted July 16, 2001 Author Share Posted July 16, 2001 So based on Parasounds link for their bass management, what would you set the sub to? Mains, center, surrounds are safe below 40hz. I also have Reinforced bass set on. Here is the link... http://www.parasound.com/service_information/owners_manuals/pdfs/avc25bassaddendum6_9.pdf What do you think?
