Setting Basslink crossover

Hi,

Just installed Basslink in trunk of my 2013 Mustang V6. Running factory stock radio (non shaker) and replaced all 4 speakers with Pioneer TS-D6802R.

Not sure where to set the crossover on the Basslink for best response. Pioneer says their speakers can go down to 30Hz although I imagine they would not sound very good down that low. Any thoughts where I should set the Basslink crossover to? The range can be adjusted from 50-120Hz.

thanks!

Does it have a high pass and low pass? Or only low pass?

Just looked it up, low pass only. Start at 100hz. Do you have the Shaker system or base? Either way you'll have no adjustments on the speakers, but I'm sure they're cut off around 40-50 from the factory. Should sound decent. Keep the bass boost off!

Use your ears. It's difficult to know for sure where to set it unless you use REALLY good speakers that have printed frequency responses that are actually pretty accurate (otherwise it's just a ballpark figure in a lot of cases).

Ideally you will also want a crossover on your speakers. The bass being reproduced by your speakers will muddy up the bass coming from the subwoofer without one.

Just play around with a few different settings and see how it sounds. I'd start at 120 then head down to 80-ish and see what sounds best.
