[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8728405, member: 681035"] First of all, adding an amp doesn't interfere with the time alignments or crossovers in your head unit, assuming you get an amp that can be set to full range. The majority of multi-channel amps I've looked at do have this ability. Your amp would simply take the head unit processed signal and amplify it. Secondly, if you actually want to tune your system, why not just run a dsp? They can be had pretty cheaply. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-dsp-408-4x8-dsp-digital-signal-processor-for-home-and-car-audio--230-500[/URL] If you shop around I've seen this unit on sale for a little as $90. Leave all of the settings from the head unit flat, tune the signal per channel with this dsp so that you can separate the signals to your mids and tweets, run it from the dsp to an amp, and then from the amp to your speakers. I had a lot of the same questions you do when I first came here, and this is the most correct way to do what you are trying to do. [/QUOTE]
