I guess I'm not asking the question correctly. I guess what I'm asking is how would you determine where the corner points are? For example if I have my high shelf or my low shelf set to a particular frequency, how do I figure out which frequencies are the high and which one is the low? I'm assuming that the frequency I'm on would be the center? May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
