Or you can make your own for a lot cheaper.

I got them from http://www.able-audio.com/.
I could prolly make them myself but A)its like 7 degrees outside, and B) didnt want to get MDF dust all over my basement
. So I paid the $7 a ring or whatever to have two perfect ones made and shipped to my doorstep.

I'm running mine 2-way active 110X4, and it sounds great. You should be fine with 104x4 in your active setup.
yea but wouldnt the 200-250ish (matters song) i put to them be able to move the speaker a lot easier... i know the passive crossovers rob some power... but i dont think its 150 watts...
- i do plan on running active one day and use this one amp for the mids and get another for the tweets. but i need new subs first... lol and probaly gonna need some electrical upgrades

I think 200-250w might be a little much direct power for our CMX Kick mids. I made a post a while ago about these speakers being run active, and Aaron @ PremierAudio suggested that the CMX Kick mids were safe to give from 100-140w rms power in an active setup. I'd PM him to verify this before you go ahead, just to be sure.
The CAL25 titan tweets are spec rated for 100w power handling, but I don't give mine more than 50-60w rms a piece, max. IMO, that's perfect power for them when running active. Anymore powe than that, and you might risk damaging the tweeter motor.
well i got em running at around 200 passive and they seem to be fine.. i thought i smelt the coil once when i first got em but i think it was possible glue cause i've ran them harder and longer since then and never smelt a thing... and they dont seem to be struggling taking the power... but the crossovers sure do love to light up =)
but yea if i did run them active iw ouldnt give them all that power
also i set em at 200 with a 0db test tone - music will almost never hit that.. i never add bass (to my speakers) with the EQ... and never cross them lower than 80.. sometimes i play the music a little louder.. but as i said thats song dependant - on something that pounds.. i wont cause i dont wanna hurt these things and i never clip a signal

Yeah, I've ran my CMX's passive before with about 220w bridged rms a side, and they sounded killer...but I've gotta say, man, after giving each mid and tweet 100w rms in my current active setup, I'm gonna have to find a good use for the passive crossovers down the road.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Going active seemed like a daunting task at first, 'cause I've only REALLY been into CA over the last 2-3 years...but after doing a lot of reading up and asking questions, I'll probably never run passive again. Active makes THAT much of a difference....and I actually like being able to tweak my crossover settings and experiment from time to time.

Yeah man, it's way cool to be able to adjust on the fly, and fine-tune the best sound you're looking for. Wiz, along with a lot of other chaps on the boards have helped me to ease into the 'active' transition. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif
