Just wanted to take a quick poll to see where everyone has their tweeters crossed over at using their 4000X's, as well as the slopes. Thanks!

I was unable to do so, since my XDP has some funky thing going on the tweeter xover output that causes it to dropout audio intermittently. My front doors/tweets are bi-amped, but are tied together to the mid output on the XDP4k. If I could run separates, I would for sure!

I've heard rumors that it acually shifts the phase instead of just delaying the sound from channel to channel. If anyone has any definate knowledge as to how it actually works, please, enlighten me. As for the issues I've come across, I've had an extremely difficult time acheiving a level of bass that I would compare to other systems running similar power with similar equipment. I'll give a quick description of what I have. I'm running my 2 - 12" Infinity Perfect Subs with a Phoenix gold M100 running at 2 ohms bridged mono, so appx 500 watts RMS. To handle the power requirements, I am using an Aluma Pro 5 farad cap and 2 ga. power wire. The subs run sealed in a 2 ft cubed enclosure. I'm also using 2 more m100's for front highs and mids, and an Alpine mrv-1505, running my rear midbass. The total power from the amplifiers drawing current from my car still far exceeds the capabilities of my alternator, and my lights start to dim at around -18 db on my c90. FYI, I drive a 95 Buick Regal Gran Sport, I believe the alternator capacity is between 105 - 115 amps, along with an optima battery installed. Hard for me to believe, considering the level of the bass that is attained, it is decent, but doesn't fill the car that well at all, considering what is being driven. Upper level frequencies seem to take the most power (from the 70-90 hz range), causing the lights to dim during peaks and draws even at a somewhat low level. Driving down the road the other day, I realized that the bass actually got noticibly louder when rolling down both windows. It's fuller, and fills the car better. That made me think that the polarity of my subs needed to be switched, since that's the common answer to that issue. I went ahead and switched the polarity, and noticed almost no change whatsoever, the bass level stayed close to the same, the peaks were a little less, but even after the switch, the continuous bass level got louder, again with the windows down. I guess what I am asking is, what exactly is the 4000x doing to the sound going to my speakers when I enter in those distances to the speakers, and is there some reason why my bass level is so moderate at this level of power. Obviously the system is drawing some serious current, as the 5 farad cap and the cars systems have a hard time with it at such an early volume level. If anyone has any insight to my problem, I would love to hear, I'm out of answers at the moment, and am just starting to think either the design is bad, or the car doesn't have good dynamics. Bobby
