Running active.

Want to run a active setup with Morel mids and tweets powered by a PPI Art amp. What would be a good HU to run this setup? I've searched here and people seem to love Pioneer 880 but does it run active setups? When I look at its specs, the high pass x-over has only these points...

50/63/80/100/ 125/160/200Hz, 0/-6/-12dB/Oct

Something like older Eclipse go upto like 3k hz. I cant cross the tweets at 200hz now. Am i missing somthing about the 880? Also what HU would you guys recommend in the sub $300 range?

yea the pioneer 880prs does have active capability. most HUs that have a 3 way xover usually have two modes: 1) standard, normal and 2) advanced mode. you just have to switch from standard mode to advanced mode then you activate the 3 way xover.

Thats for standard mode...Networking mode (as Pioneer calls it) is far more complicated than that.

Standard doesn't allow for active setups, only networking does, and I can't even remember what the freq. are because I haven't done it in so long, but it's more than what you listed...also they are left and right independently adjustable.
