[QUOTE="its_bacon12, post: 4060406, member: 558729"] the inexpensive raw drivers is appealing to alot of us, which is why we DIY. that and you have endless possibilities, where as passives you're stuck with one crossover slope between the two.. anyways, passives are alot less efficient, like you thought. the coils (inductors) dissipate some power, not sure how much. A dsp would make life a lot easier, but you could always get just a 3 way active crossover as well. Something that allows for paralell inputs, like a Coustic XM-6 or XM-3. i have the XM-3 and i was running 3 amplifiers off it happily, but it doesnt offer a band pass option. (combination of highpass and lowpass) like i said in my previous post, its best to do some research and find out whats best for you (price wise, appearance, functionality) [/QUOTE]
