[QUOTE="D-C, post: 1514253, member: 565030"] For me, I went with the amp crossovers. Reason being is that my HU has crossover at specific points- 80, 120 etc... The amps are variable. Thing is, my components wanted a bit deeper sound, and that wasn't an option on the HU (it was high or low, no fine adjustment). So with a variable crossover, you can tune it exactly where you want it. I went and checked out the CDT homepage to see where the comonents theoretically come on, and used a test tone CD to adjust the crossover. I couldn't do that with a couple settings available on the HU. It's nice to be able to set it up exactly where you want and not choose form like 3 settings. [/QUOTE]
