What would you think of buying a budget active crossover and ditching the passives then?

 

[thaster 10+ year member]

i rather stick to passive. i already love how my speakers sound and passive is way cheaper than active from what i seen.

either get new crossovers of the ones you had, or go active... cant just swap out crossovers... speakers and tweets need specific xover points or they may sound like crap (from what i understand, im just gettin into comp's and going active)

wont i have to buy two of those and im not really familiar with active crossover. the only thing i know is that it goes battery -> crossover->amp->speakers.

Nope, it's a 3way crossover, meaning it'll handle sub stage, midbass+midrange, and highs, so only 1 is needed.

For the power, you just wire it up like you would an amp.

For signal, it goes HU -> Active XO -> Amplifier(s).

Yes, RCA's and yes, only one for your subs and front components.

Here's the owner's manual which will divulge some info about how active works.

Well that's going to be a severe challenge. Crystal went out of business a few weeks back and as far as I know their operations have been completely shut down.
