with the amps you have, you can pull off a 2 way front stage w/ a sub.

you'll either need an external cross over that can bandpass your mids, or an HU/processor that has a 3-way xover (high, bandpass, sub)

I'd suggest getting a headunit that has a 3-way crossover.

I have a Clarion MAX685BT HU, just got it. So buying a new one would not be an option for me.

:-(

Anyway I'm looking for a good Crossover and affordable.

you could use a external xover like audio control or arc audio,memphis which will be better then useing the head unit.

Not for feasibility and tuning....which is what it's all about.

You could ditch the 4 channel Phoenix Gold amp and get a Sundown 100.4. That will run you about 300+. Otherwise the best way is to get a new HU. I see what you have is an in dash DVD. I found one yesterday that was active capable but it was 1600 on eBay.

funny,

it's partly true. I would prefer not to get out of my listening position while tuning. I often notice things that needs changing WHILE driving (driving what I use my car for) and I'm able to make changes right there and then.
