In this video, I'll show you a pretty cool and easy time-saving method of smoothing out your subwoofer's frequency response at and around your crossover point and give you a quick tip or two on when you may want to adjust your crossover setting for better response. This video is a more or less a follow-up video to a similar video I did in the past. However, a subscriber named JavonDGreen mentioned a different method to me in a comment of that video, and I tried it out and it's kind of a game changer if you ask me, hence the updated video.
