Do componante system xovers need power?

I ordered the Infinfity Reference 605CS comp set. Will I need to run power for the xover's that come with the set?

i dont think so

I believe they are "passive crossovers" which means non-electric thus power is not needed. Just want to make sure I am right.

you will not need additional power for the crossovers

you just wire the speaker wire from amp or h/u to x-over and the x-over splits it to tweet and sub out. Needs no additional power.

Thanks guys. Reason I asked was because in the pic of the comp set I ordered I noticed there where 7 spots to terminate wire at the xover. This had me confused and just wanted to make sure so I could prerun any wires before UPS delivered the goods.

Thanks again,

Mine do indeed have 7total. 2 in from amp, 2 to mid and 3 for the tweet. The 3rd for the tweet is a extra + if you want to reduce the output level by 3dB.
