[QUOTE="alteraudiousa, post: 1657765, member: 564560"] well alot of it depends on your slopes you use. I currently am using a 8454 and running an hybrid active/passive setup. My HIGH RCA is used for the kick mid(5.25) and tweet which is run off the passive crossover and one of the MK 2.70. I run it pass at 200hz and up, the passive cross's the tweet over at 4khz IIRC. The MID RCA runs my larger 6.5 woofer in the door off the other MK2.70. For the crossover point I used 800hz and a 12db slope. I've found that the steeper the slope the higher crossover point I had to use to keep a full sounding stage. If i used the 6db slope I could go down to 500hz or so and it be fine. You definitely need some overlap as the crossover slopes slowly phase out/in the frequencies the closer they get to the crossover point. Its a lot of trial and error so get a few CDs that are musically diverse in the frequency range. Have fun i've spent 1 week finding the setup I like. Also first I'd suggest getting your time alignment right, use the formula in the manual and you'll have a good base to start with. [/QUOTE]
