JL ZR 5x7 Active or Passive

[Heath]

I recently purchases the bit one and if incorporated in my system. I also just picked up an Audison Lrx5.1. It has a "Class A" channe rated at 60 x 2 and and AB channel rated at 170 x 2.

My questions is this. currently i am running my JL ZR 5 x 7 with the passive crossover's provided. I am thinking about either bi-wiring these off both channel's of this new amp or ditching the crossover's all together and running the ZR's active off the bit one.

What are the advantages to all three scenerio's:

1. Wire directly off of the AB channel of the LRx5.1

2. Bi-Wire with both channels utilizing the ZR crossovers

3. Run in active off of the bit one running the A channel to the ZR tweeters

and the B channel to the ZR Woofers.

Thanks

I am using this amp to drive both the ZR's and the 10W3v3's as it is a five channel amp.

why dont use the 500/1 for your subs???

Uh because the 5.1k puts out more power than a 500/1?

OP, why do you have a bitone if you're going to run a 5x7 comp set passive? Waste of money IMO. What HU are you running? The ZR's may be decent, but meh.
