[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4781459, member: 594758"] Passive crossovers work well at low power, but high power uses are hard on crossovers and they must be specially designed to do it, and most dont' do high power very well. Running active will allow you to run your drivers to their full power ratings with nothing in the way. But, yes, you would need a separate active crossover to cross them off somewhere between 1kHz - 3 kHz. You can run them passive with 300 watts fine, just don't crank them for extended periods of time. If you listen carefully you should be able to hear the crossovers distort the music and add phasing that makes things sound garbled and muddy. That will tell you to back off the volume a bit. It's easy to hear the crossover distort when your playing a really clean vocal sound like an Etta James tune, and almost impossible to hear when listening to death metal. [/QUOTE]
