Need help with Active Crossover Setup - Will this work? SEE DIAGRAM I DREW OUT......
So this will be the first time I have attempted a fully active Crossover and speakers set up..... I believe I have the basics and the general idea behind it right....... but I am unsure if the way I am running all of my rca's and the way I am splitting the signal so much will work..... I drew out a crude diagram of the way I thought I could hook up this setup......
IS THIS POSSIBLE TO DO IT THE WAY I DREW IT OUT???
ARE THERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE WAY I HAVE DONE IT???
ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW TO MAKE THIS BETTER OR FIX ANY THING ON IT??
ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS I AM AT A STANDSTILL ON MY INSTALL UNTIL I KNOW 100 PERCENT FOR SURE THAT THIS WILL WORK.......
I posted this same topic over at caraudio.com forums and i have gotten a few replys and a little advice but it has only succeeded in confusing me alot more......there is a member over there that has actually draw out a couple of diagrams for me but they are kinda vague and do not include all of the components i am trying to use.
The first diagram is the one I drew out.....the second two diagrams are the ones that were sent to me but i dont know if they are right either......
This is my proposed system setup....
correct me if i have something wrong please....

I am gonna be using a Avic-Z130BT headunit and I havent really gotten into matching amps but i'll buy whatever i need to.
Is this speaker setup gonna yield me a proper staging and sound quality payoff? Anything i should change or take out or add?
I am going to use use the 3sixty.2 line one way or another.....cant get away from the pure awesomeness of controlling the setup fully with my bluetooth palm device or netbook. And i saw that someone said that the 3sixty.2 units are not active.......how are they not when i can set all of the crossover points individually along with everything else they can do?
Also, if i am NOT able to run this many speakers off of one or even two 3sixty.2 units......how in the world did Steve over at SMD run the amount of speakers he did in his tahoe off of two of these units? He has a video where he is running the exact same components setup i.e 1" tweets, 4" mids, 6.5" mids, 8" midbass, and 15" subs and he has individual control over each speaker with just two of these units. He had the tweets, 4"s, and 6.5"s on one unit and the 8"s and 15"s on another unit.
So all that said how do I do this correctly? lol
Does anybody have or can you get the DIAGRAMS that Steve drew out on his Tahoe install with the two 3sixty.2's that he installed?
Or can anybody help me out with this design so that it will work the way i want it to.....which is to gain independant control over every speaker or at least each type of speaker.... ie. tweets, 4" mids, 6.5" mids, 6.5 midbass, 15" sub
