Someone familiar with this gear?

I know running active is better but I'm not due to limited space in my convertible
I have a 3 way set of Dynaudio 362's in the front doors and JBL GTI 660's in the rear sides and 2 JBL GTI 12MKII's subs in the trunk. I have the Dex P99RS head unit 2 Mcintosh 302's and 2 Mcintosh 301's. The sound pressure levels are insane now but I want to fine tune it and not sure where I should start the crossover point being I'm running the fronts and rears passive?

My question is given the speakers I have what would be the best crossover points to set on the DexP99RS for the front rear and subs?

Thanks

Don't know what the problem is yet... but I know what it's not.

I assume you're using the passive Xovers that came with the Dynaudio and the JBL components sets? So you need the Xover point between the sub and the mains, correct? Start around 120Hz and play with it down to about 80Hz to find the sweet spot where you like the effect.
