[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1084740, member: 555320"] Some crossovers have built in line drivers, others don't. Just depends. But, beyond that.....there isn't a sonic difference between 6V and 2V. The only thing the higher preout voltage does is allow you to keep your gains down lower, reducing the [I]possibility[/I] of hearing noise in your system from the equipment. If you have no noise with 2V, then using 6V isn't going really to help you any. Tru Technology has a nice 4/5-way crossover with dual bandpass channels. I'd avoid any Audiocontrol that uses those stupid resistors packs instead of pots to adjust the xover frequency. Try tuning by ear with those resistor packs and you'll end up pulling your hair out, because in order to change the crossover point you'd need to build a new pack each time. And if you are essentially "guesstimating" the xover frequency, you can guess how many packs you'd need to build [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] So, IMHO stick with something that uses pots (knobs) or is digital.
