*X-Over Help. Need Experts.*

[Mr. T]

I want to run my tweeters off my head unit.

My head unit has a 3 way active x-over, all working on speakers via amps.

What do you suggest I do?

I cannot get another amp.

------------------------------------

Crappy Sub 4 Ohm (80 hz. down)

Vifa Midbass 4 Ohm (80-250 hz.)

Vifa Midrange 8 Ohm (250-3.5 khz.)

Vifa Tweeters 6 Ohm (3.5 khz. and up)

------------------------------------

Would you all suggest a passive crossover system? How can I work it into my current setup?

Please help T

You can't do it except with a passive x-over. I would suggest a passive setup between the midrange and tweet and power the set with the amp.

You'd still be better off using a real amp on the tweets.
