[QUOTE="j3bus2k3, post: 2458218, member: 556020"] For a true 3-way active setup, your going to need 6-channels of amplification. What you can do is use channels 3&4 for your midbass drivers only and then 1&2 could be run to a passive crossover whereby it'll be split to your midrange and tweet. A simple 3-way crossover can be had from most companies; Kicker, Memphis, Coustic, to name the ones I've looked at. The most talked about midbasses I read about are the Dayton reference [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=295-374"]7"[/URL] and [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=295-376"]8[/URL]", [URL="http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/products_page.php?id=cx&type=midrange"]ID CX64[/URL], [URL="http://www.ascendantaudio.com/poly_6.5_page.html"]AA Poly[/URL] and [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=194172"]Adire Extremi 6.8[/URL]. You cant go wrong with either of those choices really. Midranges: Usually the dayton [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=285-020"]2"[/URL], [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=264-550"]vifa D75[/URL] or the [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=194172"]Coustic Reference DR-304P[/URL].
