[QUOTE="kenbei, post: 2690763, member: 572669"] I have never done active before and have some questions/concerns. I have an audison lrx4.300 which does 65x4 @4 or 210x2 @4. I am considering going active on this amp since I have heard that the xovers on it are very good. I don't have speakers yet, but I am considering either the focal k2p or the DLS ir 6.3 3way. If I go the Focal, its a 2 way system so to active this one, I would run the tweeters off of the first two channels (A) with a high pass on at about 1200hz, and the woofer on the last two channels (B) with a low pass set at ~ 1200hz also, and have the subsonic filter on. If I went with the DLS, that is a 3 way setup. so I imagine I would have to use the passive xovers with the set on the midrange and tweet, put them both on the first two channels (A) and set the Highpass at ~1000hz, and run the woofers straight off of the amps last channels (B) low passed at ~1000hz, with the subsonic on. Am I on the right track? Does that sound right? Say in the Focals case, would I be better just bridging the amp and running 210w to the passive xover? or will going active be better? What do I have to gain really? I know their is greater efficiency going active, but is it noticeable in this config? Do I run the risk of blowing the tweeter running 65w to it (more like 32w since the tweeter is 8ohm)? Am I underpowering the woofer sending only 65w to it? Should I run the extra low or is setting with the multimeter OK? [/QUOTE]
