[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7365136, member: 631331"] Reasons you do/do not need a HU with a crossover. You need one: You will be listening to your music loudly, and your speakers cannot handle very low frequencies, when you turn it to the volume you want the speakers experience clipping/distortion. You don't need one: Your speakers are 6.5 or larger, preferably quality component sets and can handle low bass frequencies even at higher volumes without clipping/distortion. If you plan on buying some really nice components or don't really plan on turning the volume up high you can get by just fine without having a crossover or at least a HPF High Pass Filter. The thing you want is for the speakers to be at the volume you enjoy without clipping. This will ensure their long life. [/QUOTE]
