[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8399531, member: 574798"] I meant to say that shallower slopes than -24db tends to make things more muddy because the sub will play too high. Not the other way around. I agree with your statement about using the factory xover points as a starting point and go from there. That's what I did for my speakers and it worked out better than anything else I could do. IMO active sounds way better than passive if done right. Much more efficient on power and just less distortion overall. Not saying passive can't sound good, just that active can take things to the next level. The hardest part about a 2 way + sub is the lack of a strong midbass response. That's why I'm contemplating a 3 way active for my next setup and sh*t load of deadener. My previous car all deadened up did well with midbass even for a 6.5", but I still want more so I think a separate 8" on each door will do me justice. So far I'm pretty set on the JLZR800. If you have any input on it or any other good 8" midbass driver let me know. [/QUOTE]
