[QUOTE="James Bang, post: 6580199, member: 562731"] So after installing a set of XS component set for someone, I found out something interesting. The passive network doesn't do anything to the mids. It's basically just for the tweets. Most comps has a low pass filter for the mids, but these don't. The mids naturally roll off around 4-5khz. The passive xover for these two sets are almost identical, except that the CXS v.2 compensates for the sensitivity difference between the mids. So... I was thinking, the mids can hooked up to an amp alone w/o the tweets and all you need to do is use the amp's/HU's high pass filter for them and let the top end roll off on their own. Then, on two separate channels, the tweets can be hooked up to the passive xover, and it'll basically be like bi-amping the set. By doing so, you can separately adjust the levels between the mids and tweets, or you can bridge the mids and get more POWA to them. Cool beans. I'd surely like to try the CX v.2 mids. [/QUOTE]
