[QUOTE="Wingman0121, post: 6861225, member: 620554"] What do you mean by "amps that are active capable?" Technically all amps are "active" because they run under their own power supply and "passive" means no external power needed, such as a passive crossover that comes with speakers or a passive radiator. Do you mean you want to power your tweeter, midrange and woofer all with separate amplifier channels without using any type of passive crossover that comes with all component speaker sets? Keep in mind that if you want to skip the passive crossovers then you better make sure you set the highpass/bandpass crossover frequency within the speaker's specs or otherwise you can ruin them. You want a sharper crossover slope, like 12dB or 18 dB for the tweeters and 6dB or 12dB slope for the bandpassed midrange and 12dB or 18dB for the woofers. [/QUOTE]
