[QUOTE="smgreen20, post: 6812535, member: 560505"] Yes you'll need to use one. A crossover keeps unwanted freqs away from a speaker. Subs can't play 10kHz, well they can but it's not good, and a tweeter can't play 40Hz. If a tweet plays 40Hz it will mean certain death to the tweet. A mid range speaker can't play as low as 40Hz nor can it play as high as 10kHz, so it needs to stay between that say, 80Hz -3kHz. Subs are intended to play ~100Hz and down Mids are intended to play between ~80Hz - 4kHz Tweets are intended to pay ~2.5kHz and up So to keep them playing their intended freqs, you'll need to cross them over, or filter out those freqs that are harmful to that certain speaker.
