I think I get what you are saying, Paul. Hearing voices through the sub isnt really a good indication of the amp's x-over condition. I still think there is something wrong with it, the variable LPF knob doesnt seem to make any difference to the cut off point at all (Ive fooled with it while playing a frequency step - down test). Ill probably take it in anyways....

I guess im just nit-picking. Im actually really dissapointed with the unit itself. Its pushing a single JBL 12" DVC 4ohm sub. It's ok, but it sounds just as good, maybe even slightly better when hooked to my friends amp which I borrowed and stuck into my car (older MTX PRO 50x2). I know those MTX's were underrated, but it actually sounds a bit better than my bigger amp. Also, I heard practically nil voices when playing similar songs with his amp, so thats what got me thinking to start with.

I got a good deal originally on the amp, and I knew that the 1000w sticker on the front was a joke, but 460 wrms x 1 was exactly what I was looking for. Anyways, im dragging this out pointlessly.

Thanks again , Paul
