Just picked up a Kicker IQ500.4 amp+dsp, damn this thing is small (9 1/2" x 8 3/4" x 2")!! This will definitely be a "budget SQ" build.
I'm in the process of building a platform for it, which will sit below the rear center seat / FFF - that spot was made for this amp.
It'll be driving Alpine SPR-60c's, which I've really grown to appreciate the past few weeks as they've broken in. I thought about the Hertz ESK's, and when I auditioned them I wasn't wowed enough to kick up the extra dough - albeit we're only talking about an $80 difference at the end of the day. I'll upgrade eventually, but I'm digging the type R's so they'll stay in for now (tweets in sail, mid in factory door location). Rears are kicker CS 6x9's, and will be powered off the HU. I wanted to keep the ability to fade them in if I wanted, but they are most certainly not a focus of this install.
Anyway... recognizing that Mfg'ers passive XO's are proprietary, anyone have any suggestions as to starting XOver points? Here is what I was thinking, but would appreciate some guidance from gurus running active (also attached).

Thanks, in advance!!
