[QUOTE="zako, post: 7549713, member: 629735"] I don't know what's the best way to do it, but Y splitter should be fine. I personally do not use a Y splitter. So my front pre-amp connects to the amplifier and then to the tweeters (with a capacitor inline to act as a crossover). My rear pre-amp connects to the other 2 channels on the same amplifier and then those channels power the woofers. The reason I did it this way so I were able to apply time alignment from my Kenwood head unit to tweeters and woofers independently from each other. This was one of the two motivations for me two switch to active (the other was to match levels better). Being able to time align each driver individually made a pretty big difference in SQ compared to the results with TA applied to passive component sets, and I haven't even tried to more "formal" ways of tuning TA yet (using pink noise, etc). So my "fader control" is now just a level control between tweeters and woofers, but I prefer to leave it at middle position, and tune amplifier gains instead. This means that I can't adjust my rear speaker volume from head unit, but that's not a big loss because I have run out of amp channels after installing front speakers and sub.. [/QUOTE]
