[QUOTE="Alpineforever, post: 4488890, member: 585728"] Active means you use an external processor to set the crossover points yourself. Each tweeter and each midbass will get their own channel and you have more control about how much power gets to what, and if you don't like the sound you can continually tune your x-over points until you find what you like. Passive means you use the crossover that comes with your component set in line after amplification and you can't change the x-over point, and there is a tweeter and mid on each channel. IMO Active is much more rewarding, and where you set your crossovers is more dependent on your drivers, and no one can really answer that until you pick out your drivers, but as a general rule of thumb start out safe with your tweeters crossed over 3000 or 3500 HZ and then tune lower, and some mids can take down to 60 HZ no problem, others are better crossed over higher at like 80 or 100 HZ, so thats really driver dependent, and then just LP the mids around 2500 or so...
