[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8592338, member: 650438"] yeah in the home audio world is a lot easier with the crossover points. In the car audio world not so much. Not every component set you buy will sound good in your car no matter how expensive it is. There's weird reflections, phase issues and many other things that can destroy fidelity that is why having an active network head unit or digital sound processor that can assign its own crossover point and slopes to the speaker is the best way to get the best sound quality out of your speakers. With passive crossovers in components they are stuck at some randome point and slope lets say 3500 at -18 db slope linkwitz riley and you cant change the points if your vehicle acoustics call for a higher/lower point with a different slope.
