What is "slope"???


I dont think I totally understand the properties of slope?

I'm setting up a Theta Casablanca and when it comes to crossover I get it,....but as far as setting the slope, Im at a loss as to what it addresses.

Please help me understand what I should be listening for.

Thanks.

Ezmeralda, Jeffrey -- thanks for the the clarification on the slope values. My memory doesn't seem to work quite as well as it once did ;-) Next time I'll confirm before I post.
Expanding just a bit on Marakanetz's response, the slope is the decrease in signal strength per octave. So a first order cross-over has a slope of -3db and it goes up from there -- second is -6, third is -12, fourth is -24. The decrease begins at a certain frequency and keeps on going from there depending on the specifics of the cross-over.
