Wow a real family project haha //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Hey the amp I am using is a Precision Power and it has BP on it. I just checked and for BP it can do from 15Hz (lol) to 3.5 Khz on the lower limit, and 50Hz to 4Khz on the upper limit. I think that is a wide enough range for BP... There is also an Audiocontrol EQS going in so it should be dialed in pretty good and sound pretty nice when I'm done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Dude, you don't even need a crossover with that PPI amp! I love me some PPI!

After reading The Clarions manual, it states that it can be run active 3way. I know some companies do this and don't state it And Clarion has been known for this in the past, but it appears in the manual that as it's in 3way the, high pass frequency for the tweeter will also low pass frequency for the mid to give you your bandpass.

REALLY!!? I totally skipped the Clarion when I was shopping for an Xover because it appeared to be just like all the rest with ONLY HPFs for front and rear. Good to know though.

Here is the Clarion's manual:

I just read through it and I really don't see any direct mention of a bandpass capability. If it is, it's very obfuscated for some reason. LPF is always mentioned in the context of the sub and midrange being crossed, not the midrange and tweeter. It appears the mids are allowed to roll off naturally on the upper end like most of these units do.

Yep Dano, its just a regular HP on both front and rear. I mostly would get it cos the tweet channel can be taken up to 8kHz and I can fine tune the sub. As mentioned my PPI amp has the BP for the mids //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You must be talking about the X03 - those are twice as much as the Clarion though.
