SYSTEM DESIGN examples The front crossover frequency control determines the XS62's highpass frequency independently of the XS124 and rear speakers. The rear crossover frequency control determines the XS124's lowpass frequency and auxiliary output's high- pass frequency. The auxiliary outputs send highpass signals to another amplifier.

SYSTEM DESIGN examples The front crossover frequency control determines the XS130's highpass. The bandpass signal for the XS84’s midbass is created between the front and rear crossover frequency settings. The rear crossover frequency control determines the auxiliary output's lowpass frequency. The auxiliary output sends lowpass signals to another amplifier.

SYSTEM DESIGN examples The rear crossover frequency control determines the crossover frequencies of all outputs. Use the LPL44 to control the volume of both front and rear outputs. Minimum bridged load is 2 ohms. Minimum load per channel is 1 ohm. The auxiliary output sends highpass signals to another amplifier.

SYSTEM DESIGN examples The front crossover frequency control determines the XS62's highpass frequency independently of the XS69’s and auxiliary outputs. The rear crossover frequency control determines the XS69's highpass frequency and auxiliary output's lowpass frequency. The auxiliary output sends lowpass signals to another amplifier.

SYSTEM DESIGN examples The front crossover frequency control determines the XS62's highpass frequency independently of the XS124 and rear speakers. The rear crossover frequency control determines the XS124's lowpass frequency. The auxiliary outputs send full range signals to another amplifier. Use the LPL44 to control the XS124's volume from the driver's seat.

SYSTEM DESIGN examples The front crossover frequency control determines the XS62's highpass frequency. The rear crossover frequency control determines the XS124's lowpass frequency. The bandpass signal for the XS84 midbasses is created between the front and rear crossover frequency settings. The auxiliary outputs send bandpass signals to another amplifier.

SYSTEM DESIGN examples The auxiliary outputs send lowpass signals out to the Bass Cube and then back into the front inputs. The front crossover frequency control determines the XS62's highpass frequency and the XS124's lowpass frequency. Use the LPL44 to control the XS124's volume from the driver's seat.
