4 channel amps with low crossover

[Jerm1400]

This might be a stupid question but how important is it to have a 4 channel amp with a hp crossover say like 300hz or lower? Would it be okay to run my tweeters on a crossover point that low? I have the prv tw350ti tweeters.

Way too low for tweeters . I'm not sure of the specs on those tweets of yours but I can't think of any tweeter that is going to go down anywhere near that low. Is there a crossover point recommended by the manufacturer?

2.5k is considered low for high end tweeters. The cheap stuff don't like under 4k

The recommended crossover frequency is 5000hz. They have caps on them. I have a eq will that help?

The caps are the most simple type of crossover. According to the Q&A portion of the Parts-Express.com listing for these tweeters, the capacitor is sized for a 6kHz crossover frequency.

You will need to EQ your speakers, but an EQ is not a substitute for an electronic crossover. These tweeters can be used with the caps as the crossover. Is it the best solution? No, but it is functional.
