[QUOTE="Buffalohed, post: 2858739, member: 573552"] I realize it was an old thread. But a lot of people had already been posting in it recently so I didn't see a problem. What you are describing is the lack of a high pass filter. So I am assuming you are sending a full-range signal to the components. Well, that has nothing to do with passive or active... you can just as easily highpass the signal while running passive as you can while running active. If you changed to active and only lowpassed the midrange and highpassed the tweeter, you would have the exact same problem you do now. If you can't highpass it now with your current equipment that means you won't be able to highpass it while active without new equipment. I know that adding a midrange is an advantage and will make the setup sound better. If by "running active" you simply meant adding a midrange in to make it a 3-way, then obviously that is going to be better. But you made it sound like there was a huge difference between the 2-way passive and 2-way active. Also, you mentioned you don't have an EQ, and that is also going to be as much of, if not more of a problem if you go active. Not trying to argue with you here man I was just puzzled by why you said some things, but I see now what you were really talking about. [/QUOTE]
