[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8703933, member: 574798"] I completely agree that the doors should've been sound treated in the first place when you installed the silverflutes. Once you go aftermarket, it is pretty much a requirement or you'll be getting minimal results that is far from optimal. Even stock speakers will sound better and have more midbass than that. I think running different tweets/midrange in a generic passive x/o is also a bad idea, especially when you have the ability to go fully active. I don't see how there is going to be any time alignment involved with a passive x/o unless the tweets and mids are right next to each other. Also, from my experience with auto tuning, it creates more problems than it solves and never goes well. I feel it's not worth touching IMO. I really feel like you should reconsider going back to full active and reset your gains again and set them all by ear. Just by simply changing between passive and active, you also have to be careful with gains and setting crossover correctly. I believe your gains were set way too high before which is how you blew your tweeters and amp before. Normally on passive setups, your gains need to be much higher to be anywhere decently loud. Fully active is way louder with only a fraction of those gains. Once you find where the drivers are comfortable at, you'll be able to crank your system the way you like it. [/QUOTE]
