Are these crossovers still good? Just got em from Mylows10

I agree with pretty much everything that has been said. With that said, run out and buy the correct crossovers for your speakers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Running "active" allows you much greater control and usually results in a better overall sound, compared to adjusting with EQs feeding into amplified passive crossover networks. A lot of the 2-way crossovers I've seen have a 20-2K woofer tap and a 2K - 20K tweeter tap. 3 Way taps are usually 0-500hz, 500-2000, and 2000-20K.

So to run active i would need active crossovers? Or just forget the crossovers? Hes sending me a set of Hertz

Heres a pic of my amp if it helps

Ok, you have LPF and HPF filters on each set of channels on your amp. To run active you could just set your 1+2 channels to LPF around 2.5Khz to your mid-bass speakers and run your HPF at 2.5+ to your tweeters (2-way). You would run your tweets on channels 3 + 4 and set that channel to HPF. Your gain would be much lower for your tweets than your mid-bass also. Then you could run a separate sub amp from 60-80hz on down to power a sub, giving you nice full sound and ability to adjust the sweet spot between your midbass and tweets. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Just don't run your tweets too low (2200hz or so).

Love the sig, BTW. My wife and I find ourselves saying that to each other randomly. lol

Based on what I can see that amp is not active capable. Cant seem to find a close up of the crossovers so I am not real sure but I dont think it is. Running active is suppose to be the way to go but I have run many passive setups and never had a issue but now I am running my first active setup and I have major issues. So wish I could say for sure active is better. I have either blown inputs on my amp or blown outputs on my HU.
