Few questions regarding RE RE's and powering/x'ing them

[SixthFloorFreak 10+ year member]

In the near future, my CDT's are coming out and an RE component set is going in. I'm going to bi-amp them(think this is the right term), and go all active on the x-overs. I will be using a Pioneer Premier PRS-X720 for the mids, and a PRS-X320 for the tweets. My questions are as follows:

1. What are some basic crossover points to start with? I figure I'll start with 60 on the bottom for the mid, but i have no clue on the top for the mid/bottom for the tweet. Anyone know what the points are in the passive network?

2. What active x-over would be best suited for my situation?

Thanks in advance

60hz on the lowend sounds like a good starting point. I don't know what the topend xover point is....I'd image around 3-4khz. Those would be a good place to start.

http://www.cardomain.com/shoptype/Crossovers - The Coustic XM6 is a nice piece. Just be sure whatever one you get has a bandpass filter.

since this thread is about RE comps, does anyone know if these run at 2 ohms or 4 ohms?

The RE RE's are 4ohm
