[QUOTE="Emvaz, post: 7678935, member: 640044"] Thanks for the tip; I plan on upgrading to a Pioneer DEH-80prs or maybe even the P99rs, so I'm definitely with you on the keeping it simple philosophy. I also assume that these built-in crossover h/u's don't fall into the category of "crappy" although I'm still a bit of a newb at the more technical end of audiophelia, so you tell me. The 99rs does auto-EQ and time-alignment and then allows you to tune afterwards to personalize the sound, so I shouldn't need any additional EQs, crossovers or DSPs. The 80prs isn't quite out yet but the specs are pretty impressive for the price-range. With the ability to tune everything from the h/u, and the added benefits of more flexibility and power in active mode, I don't see any reason not to (except for the cost). I like to tinker with the tuning anyway, so I don't view that aspect of active crossover as a burden, especially if the auto-tuning feature offers a good reference point. I am of the mindset that I would rather spend more and buy once and gain the flexibility to change the sound setup easily in the future, rather than get something that might be feasible for the short-term but won't hold up to long-term upgrading if I decide to switch my setup. Thanks again for the feedback. [/QUOTE]
