[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2042480, member: 555320"] If you are a relative novice at setting up components (which it sounds that you are given you didn't know what "active" was or that tweeters had a certain power handling limit, no offense, not calling you stupid, you simply have much to learn), then it's best that you first perfect that art passive crossover setups before you attempt to go active. Yes, with active there is the potential for better sound. But it's also [I]much[/I] easier to end up with worse sound through improper tuning. And considering most people don't even understand how to maximize a passive setup....active is a long shot for achieving best performance for those people. [/QUOTE]
