Vandersteen 2wq x-over help

Hi. I have a Hovland Sapphire amp and I need to find out the correct values for the x-over. The output imp is 680kOhms. I tried emailing Mr Vandersteen a few weeks ago, but I haven't received an answer; very annoying considering I purchased his product.

So can anyone help please? Thanks.

Swampwalker, Are you familiar with Vandersteen subwoofers?

Are you looking for the cut off point for your main amp? The 2Wq comes with a variable crossover (WX-2) that goes between the amp and preamp with a selector switch. Once the desired sound is achieved the box is removed and replaced with a plug in resistor at the back of your amp. This relieves the main amp and speaker of low frequencies. Without the WX-2 your only other option is to try different resistors. These are high quality resistors with male and female RCA's.

I hope this helps.

I guess I don't understand what you want. It sounds like you are trying to match a subwoofer crossover to your amplifier. Is this correct?
