[QUOTE="zero7404, post: 3751804, member: 584768"] i've been into audison for about 4 years now. as a matter of fact it was my first car stereo amp brand (yep, i only started doing systems in my car for about 4 years now). i recently decided to dispense with my 2 audison LRx amps (2.500 and 1.400) and go with the 3.1K (getting it for a pretty good price also). since i started doing car stereo i had a set of QSD 216's in my cars being driven by the 2.500, and it sounded awesome, but a few months ago, these speakers croaked on me (for no apparent reason, a loud pop from the driver's side driver and the passenger side drivers went literally to mute). anyway, i decided to swap them out for the ZR650-CSi's and these sound pretty detailed and nice. i like them. but i have a few questions: how do passive crossovers split the power output to the tweets/mids ? percent-wise, if anyone knows ? one thing my audison dealer tells me is that passive crossovers act as resistance to the system output. so if i instead go with the 5.1K, i can feed each speaker individually. but this is where my question is: i've got a front + sub setup, which means i'm using only 2 outputs from my CD7000. can the 5.1K take the front channel input into A, and feed the hi-pass part of it to the tweeters (channel A out) and the midrange part to the mids (channel B) ? like i said, i'm in a front+sub setup. not sure if i'd have to configure the deck for 3-way to use this amp without the passive JL crossovers ? since i have the tweets/mids mounted in my doors, i'm not sure if 3-way would sound right (i assume i'd need the mids in the rear deck). if anyone has input, that would be awesome, i plan on placing the order tomorrow, and want to make the right choice.
