[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8673880, member: 576029"] I totally agree with n2audio above. Amp input impedance vary and a passive crossover is built for the specific load. Even the FMod assumes an input impedance. You are correct that it's somewhat more efficient to put a crossover before an amp. That's why we use electronic crossovers. We let the electronic crossover accept the factory signal and handle routing. Nowadays, we use a DSP for this task and gain a ton of other features at the same time. With the price of DSPs reaching the cost of electronic crossovers, it's becoming a standard practice. [/QUOTE]
