[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2692553, member: 550915"] The DLS set either has to e run full active or full passive. The midbass and the tweeter are on the same crossover and the midrange has its own crossover. Efficiency is a wash between the two. There is very little in the way of loss in a passive crossover. The real benefit to going with an active setup is adjustability. You can tune the crossover freqs and levels to get the exact sound that you're looking for. With a passive, if the freq isn't what you want, you have to rebuild the passive crossover which costs time and money. [/QUOTE]
