I officially give up on this. You should definitely read up on passive crossovers.

BTW, you're still going to buy the wrong thing and you will find out the hard way.

oldschool4me and everyone else who suggested going active to you is correct, that is the smartest suggestion in your case, IMO.

jeez, and you're from dallas //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif SET THE HPF on your amp to 70hz, buy a passive crossover that works with your tweet, say 18-24db at 2.5khz(have you even mention what tweeter you are trying to pair this with?). Connect speaker wires from amp to crossover, then hook the MLi to the woofer output of the passive and hook the tweeter up to the tweeter output of the pasive. DONE.

Active is cheaper in the long run...good quality raw drivers are less expensive than buying a component set with equal quality/potential. The "bang for your buck" really shows when you don't have to pay for crossovers and can just focus on quality raw speakers.

That's perfect then. You put a mid and tweet on each channel. You put a passive crossover between the mid and tweet, preferably one that is original to the tweeter (it will be in the 2-4khz range). The HP crossover in the amplifier will provide the other 80-120hz filter you are looking for to protect the mid from over-excursion. If your amplifier has a built-in HP filter, you DO NOT need a passive filter for the midbass driver.

Christ on a cracker! NO!!!!!!
You run a wire from the amp to the passive crossover that has provisions for a mid and tweet. You then run wires from the crossover to the mid and tweet respectively. You then activate the high pass crossover on the amplifier and adjust it to 80hz.

i know how to hook up a a passive xover thats what i had before. but i just didnt think since it said 500 htz that it would play anything below that. but i understand now so ill just get that one xover and be done lol

Again with the 500hz thing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

If you own a passive crossover that indicates it provides a filter point of 500hz, don't use it. It will be of no use to you in a system comprised of a subwoofer, a midbass, and a tweeter. If you were setting up a system that had a subwoofer, a midbass, a midrange, and a tweeter, you could use it between the midbass and midrange but you're not, so you can't. If you let your sub operate up to 500hz, it will sound like shit. If you let your tweeter operate down to 500hz it will sound like shit, until it dies. The crossover points of interest to you have already been mentioned numerous times. There are two of them. The first point will be in the area of 40hz to 100hz between the sub and mid, and the second will be in the area of 2khz to 4khz between the mid and tweet. Comprende-vous?
