[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2789224, member: 555320"] My problems with it; 1) Reliability. But hey...it's cheap enough that even if it only worked for a month you got your money's worth. 2) Inflexibility. Notice how it doesn't use potentiometers to set the frequency, but rather has switches where you must choose from pre-selected frequencies. It would "work", but not the greatest. It also has pretty shallow slopes. 3) Due to it's quality of design/construction, there is a good chance that it's actual performance is highly varied from what's printed on the chassis. Actual Xover points could be very different from what the screenprint says, slopes could be very different. Etc. IMO, you would be better off spending "double the money" and getting a xover with more flexibility and that has proven to be a good unit for the money; [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-COUSTIC-XM6-3WAY-6CHANNEL-ELECTRONIC-CROSSOVER-XM-6_W0QQitemZ220095984395QQcategoryZ79840QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-COUSTIC-XM6-3WAY-6CHANNEL-ELECTRONIC-CROSSOVER-XM-6_W0QQitemZ220095984395QQcategoryZ79840QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/URL] Adjustable pots for better frequency selection, steeper slopes which for active are IMO a benefit, and it's a much better quality unit than the Pyramid.
