Biamping with active crossover

[rufusen]

Hi from Italy.
I' already posted the same question in an italian forum but nobody helped yet
I'm starting my adventure in biamping with an active crossover:

I have a classe cp 60 preamplifer
the crossover is the Behringer DCX2496 Ultra-Drive Pro
the two power amps are classe 300

The problem is how to adjust the inputs and outputs levels to match the crossover with the pre and the amps.
The levels on the Behringer are in dB but the sensibility of the inputs on the amps and on the pre are in Volts...
The sensibilty of the inputs of the ca 300 amps is 1,65V, what will be the right adjustement in dB on the Behringer?

Thanks for any help,
Alex.

I am assuming you already know the crossover points. The best way to do it is use a pink noise generator, calibrated Mic and a spectrum analyzer. I’m guessing you don’t have that, so I would suggest starting out low and gradually increasing them until the sound suits you. There is a tremendous amount of flexibility in that type of setup. Just listen to your favorite piece of music and let your ears decide. I did the same thing some years ago with a pair of infinity RS4b speakers that I modified for Bi-amping. It really improved the entire system.
