[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1170074, member: 560358"] You don't [B]need[/B] an active setup to make it work. You can do all passive crossover and have it work. But it's better to drive the subwoofer active because the crossover parts [B]may[/B] cost alot depending on the scenario and you can't tweak the subwoofer for best sound. Use the plate amps for the subwoofer and install these in the cabinet in the rear, they have active crossovers and some may have EQ's and/or other neat features. Check PE plate amps, Adire, etc. If you want to expand on the project and do a 4 way, that would be pretty sweet. Your mains would be 3 way, tweeter, pure midrange, woofer. The subwoofer would be a seperate unit all by itself with built in plate amp or whatever. This way you can move the sub around the room for best sound, the sub always stays with you even if you change your mind and want new mains later. Make a sonotube sub [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] they are simple. If you want to go mad, active crossover everywhere. [/QUOTE]
