[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 4274212, member: 570419"] You would have to use a passive element to get each speaker the correct signal and then you would be right back to a passive network. You would not have control over JUST the tweeter output or even JUST the woofer output. You need more channels. Period. You will also need more processing power to go active. By the way it sounds, you should just stick with passive. You also don't [I]have[/I] to find a passive crossover just like the ones that came with the set (why do you think they're not good enough in the first place?) and you can use any other matching pair out there as long as they meet your crossover goals. CDT offers independent passive crossovers but they're rather pricey: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=11&mfg_account_ID=21&sort=account_name&=Update+Selection"]http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=11&mfg_account_ID=21&sort=account_name&=Update+Selection[/URL] I would say you're better off ditching the rear speakers (or putting them on headunit power) and using all four channels of your amp to power the front mids and tweets.
