Arc moto 600.4 setup

Arc amp hooked to mpk165 components. What's the best way to set up the amp? Full pass or high pass. I'm only using channels 1&2 as of now. I plan on putting lowers on down the road with 6.5s running to channels 3&4. What's the best way to set the 2 channel and 4 channel switch? About 80hz on the dial? As of now the gain is set right around the middle of the gain control. Is that a good place or should I adjust it up a little? Been reading a ton of threads over the last 6 months or so. Just trying to figure it all out but my head us overfilled with all the stuff I've read. I'm running 1.20 software with the LL on default settings. Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that's how I set it. I'm going to pull it back out and make sure this weekend.

So full pass or high pass? I have it on full pass. I figured the crossovers would do their job and filter the bad stuff. Thanks again.

They will be much better with the hp filter on amp. Take it out of full pass and run it in hp.

Make sure you cross it from 80 to 100hz after it's set to HP.

No. Just whatever frequency you cut off. On 6.5's you really don't reproduce much below 80hz, so you are taking the low frequencies out that will muddy up the speakers sound. In the end you get a clearer and more efficient speaker, even with a passive network inline.
