I just picked up some hertz hsk 165XL and this is my first time running active, after I ran the A/T the headunit is lowering the level of the mids and the tweeters, here is how it set it.

Low LPF 80 12db Level 0
Mid HPF 125 12db Level -15
Mid LPF 8k 12db Level -15
High HPF 8k 12db Level -23

Why do you guys think its lowering it so much, and what do you think of those settings, should I adjust anything?

Pioneer DEH80PRS
Hertz HSK165XL
Sony XM-2200GTX
Sony XS-L122P5

Seems about right to me.
How does it sound?

 

[Rtsr21]

It does sound good, any idea why it -15 and -23 for the level of the mid and tweeter?

Turn the gains down for those channels and run it again.

I'd try 24db slopes. Match your sub/mid and mid/tweeter xovers. Try anywhere from 63hz to 100hz for sub/mid xover. Mute your sub and tweeters, see what kind of volume/SQ you can get for the mids(with no distortion) with the different cross overs at a set volume level on your head unit. Then start matching the tweeters to the mids. Then add back in the sub. When matching do one side at a time. The 8k seems high for the mids but I don't know much about the speakers. Maybe try 2k, 2.5, or 3.15. I never had luck with the auto eq but the time alignment was decent. There are lots of good threads on here to answer all your questions. Search them out and read thru them! I'd download a free RTA for your phone if you haven't already to help with setting levels.

You have the amp on the sub and Hertz running off the head unit right?

Its all ready to quite for me as it is.

The PRS is attenuating based on respective sensitivities.

Sub is the least efficient of the bunch. Hence the unity(0db) gain setting.

Some of it could simply be difference in sensitivity of drivers, but I would guess most of it is gain imbalance between sub and mid/tweet amp.
How did you set the gains on the sub amp versus the mid/tweet amp?
