[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8269737, member: 611804"] going active while quite interesting and fun can easily harm your speakers as previously noted. some passive crossover have a bi-amp feature that allows you to power the mids and the tweets from separate channels of the amp. buy biamping you dont need any extra cross over controls other than the basic high pass. it allows you to attenuate you tweeter volume separate from you mids and ultimately give you the choice as to how the power is divided. buy bi-amping you can still use the time alignment and eq you have. and the infinity tweeters are bright my recommendation is to 1) reverse the polarity of the passenger side, 2) aim then away from you but not at the windshield, how much away from you is your choice, and 3) try and cut some of the eq rather than boosting to overcome the bright tweets, this is better on the system anyway as it further mitigates the possibility of adding distortion by over-boosting signals. going active you have to be really patient and careful and it often take alot of listening time to get it all to sound just right.
