[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 2947696, member: 573252"] That's pretty dead on. Those are the two units that I recommend the most. When looking for a crossover, just make sure it has the capability to low pass (for subs), bandpass (for mids), and high pass (for tweeters). You want the high pass and the low pass to be able to be adjusted between 1.5k and about 5 k. Give or take a few hz. Normal crossover points for 2-way component sets range from 2 khz to about 4 khz. This will give you enough room to mix and match components, and try different speakers. The Memphis unit is very good, and can be found for a few dollars more than the Coustic. It's a bit easier to use, and generally just a bit better built. However, that's not a slam against the Coustic. If you look in my sig, I've ran a Coustic crossover, and have had very good success with it. I wouldn't spend any more money than either of those until you get into units that have time alignment and built in EQ capability. The RF 360.2 comes to mind, and the AudioControl DQXS. PPI made a good one, if you can find one cheap called the DCX730. These units are all well into the hundreds of dollars. The AC unit can be found for around $400.00 on the low end (and doesn't have time alignement that I know of). At that point you're better off just getting a head unit that can do it all. [/QUOTE]
