i have a behringer cx3400
i want this to be a 2 way
as i have 2 amps 1 for low bass and one for sounds
as i see on the cross over
if i have 2 way is that mean i have no mid
if i just used low and high
will it sound OK ??

to setup 2 way,
connect the low amp to low output
your tops amp to high output
you then have to press the first mode button in and the 2nd out, This will put it into stereo, The mode buttons this is on the rear in the middle
You can check its correct is it will light an amber light next to stereo on the front
Set the input gains to 0 i.e 12 o clock and delay off, As you wont realy need that
Then simply set the cross freq, try around 120HZ and tweak it for you bins, Until it sounds nice to you, If you get vocals through the bins it could be the 1x or 10x button pressed in the rear, As it has 2 different freq ranges, took me a while to figure it out at first
Then adjust the output levels of the low and high output until sounds sweet

Ok mate, If you need any more help drop a pm,
Forget to say, Tweak the bins first and leave the top amp off,
Easier for you to get the X freq sounding real nice :)

Yeah your running it 2 way, So the mid and high will go to the tops mate,
Its confusing i know,
Its because it can do 3 way to mate, Where you would have high mid and low i.e 3 amps
Give it a play tommorow, You will enjoy it, I have one next to me that was setup just yesterday :) they are a nice x over
