[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1120027, member: 561023"] Like already posted, the most common setup, a 2-way passive network, just uses a single channel from the power source for each crossover. The passive network then sends HP and LP freq bands to the appropriate drivers. Bi-ampable crossovers allow you to use a separate amp channel for each respective driver. A tweeter can potentially hold just as much wattage as a mid driver provided that only the frequencies it is designed to reproduce are sent to it for reproduction. A tweeters inherent nature makes it much easier to bottom it out so you generally need to be more careful when setting crossovers/EQs and such. But so long as you're only sending it like 3.5kHz and higher in a non-clipped signal (or whatever the effective range for the tweet in question is) it should take rated RMS input with no problems. I cannot comment on the Rainbows or the A/D/S sets but I can speak for the Diamonds and tell you that I love 'em and would suggest 'em to anyone [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
