[QUOTE="HitManSE, post: 3256361, member: 549624"] Not necessarily active (though im sure they'd shine) but the true strength of the powerline CS comps is when you give each component its own frequency range to play. What I mean is, if the tweeters had only 2.6khz-20khz to play, the mids only had 55hz-300hz to play, and you throw in a set of mids to cover the game between those two. Lets say a 4" set of Seas Lotus, each component of the 3way would be under a lot less stress, distortion would be minimal and you could probably crank the volume up 40% higher without any issues. Or just be a bit more aggressive with the gains. 2 Downsides to this though, 1 is you'd have to get 2 seperate amps to do this. A 4 way for the mids/highs and another to handle the mids (with more power of course). The 2nd is you'd have to find a place to stick those 4" (or whateve size floats your boat) mids. Just to clear things up, those frequencies I listed are just #'s im throwing out there. Basically a starting point, you'd have to adjust it, tune it, ect.. to your liking to get it right. Yeah, they do get loud. Remember though, they'll let you know the second you go too loud. They'll match up to the Q's better then the coutours were able to.
