hello. i would like to know if its better to hook up an amp with the high level connectors or can i just use the rca's. i already have a crossover so i was wondering if i would get the same sound wether i did high level or low since the crossover can take the bass out of the speaker. thanks in advance.

If your using mids, go with the RCA. If your using tweeters, go with the high level. Thats just my opinion.

But remember, if you use high level put the input sensitivity on your amp to 10x rather than 1x for the RCA.

I just did not understand a word of that previous post.

Low level is the cleaner, better signal. High level is used only if low level is not available. For all speakers, regardless of their size. High level input can never be on par with the quality of low level.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
