[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8332324, member: 576029"] using the passive crossovers for the tweeter only will provide extra protection for them and you can still run active and have a higher crossover point. but you'll also hear some distortion associated with the passive crossover and still have the phase shift associated with the passive crossover. i'm not a fan of that tweeter and passive crossover combination, running true active may be an improvement. don't worry as much about overpowering - use the gains to attenuate the tweeter level such that the tweeters are the same amplitude as the woofers around the crossover point. having an RTA or sound level meter helps with this (even an Audio Tool RTA app for your phone). you'll find the tweeters need a lot less power to achieve the same amplitude. i'd start with a 4kHz crossover point.
