In these installations you may need to bypass the internal crossover in either the processor or Velodyne subwoofer. In some installations, simply setting one crossover to a higher frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximumperformance.Tobypassthesubwoofer'sinternalcrossoverwhentheunit is being fed a low pass signal from another crossover, simply locate the switch marked X-over, OUT - IN on the rear panel of the subwoofer and set to the OUT position.Thiswilleliminatetheinternalcrossoverfromthesignalpath.
