4-way active xover

[jmanpc 5,000+ posts]

Well I sold off my old 3-way active crossover because I've had to do some real...afro engineering to get my xover points correct. I'm looking for a 4-way xover because I've got a 4-way setup (sub, midbass, mid, high for you noobs), so not just any active xover will do. I'm not exactly rich, so my choices are very limited.

I've really had my eye on the one found here. I am very aware that the xover has switched points, not dials, so it has a limited amount of adjustment. I am okay with it, as the xover points would work fine, but I'm not thrilled about it.

I might could even use a 3-way xover, and just cross my sub over straight from my headunit, and use the subwoofer channel for midbass if the LPF xover point will go to ~250hz.

Got suggestions? Price range is up to $150 shipped, but I'd prefer to spend less.

Coustic XM-6. 2 of them. Can get from eBay NIB for about $50 shipped each. Daisy chaining a 2-way and a 3-way works well also.

Find a Coustic XM7...capable of 7-way active processing. One of the better external processors out there.

I think either of these would work. But someone with more knowledge might be able to help. What about the PPI FRX-456. Seen a couple in different cars never owned one. I have not seen one of these for 150.00 yet. I would like to have one myself to try out.

I think the PPI OMX-432 would also work. I have never personally delt with a OMX-432. I know these can he had for 150.00 or less.

Thank you for the suggestions. The OMX 432 looks like it would be right up my alley

No problem. I have been trying to decide what to do also. I have the ARC MX-3 but I really need a 4-way. Good luck on the OMX-432 they are pretty easy to find.
