[QUOTE="crow, post: 2946757, member: 568415"] You need to determine what you want to be able to control and how much you are willing to spend. For a basic crossover unit, the Coustic XM6 is mentioned often as a nice budget crossover. I've seen them for $35 on ebay nib. If you're looking to spend a bit more, Memphis 16-X03 is a nice looking piece. Arc Audio also makes a few crossovers. They make one in-dash unit that is really slick. They also sell a faceplate that combines the crossover with their in dash eq into a single dash panel which makes for a cool install. Audiocontrol is well known for their quality crossovers and processors. Adjustability is another thing to check on. There are some units that use a resistor module that you plug into the board to set the crossover point. Some of the Audiocontrol units are set up that way. The modules are cheap and easy to make from a few parts from radio shack. Other units simply have a knob or switch to set the crossover point. Beyond that, some of the newer head units will have built in crossovers that are fully capable of running a 3-way setup along with other system tweaks. There are also dedicated processors which either interface with a compatible head unit or run independently which allow you to set crossover points, time alignment, surround sound and so on. These can get expensive but it all depends on how much control you're after [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif[/IMG][IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] .
