Active crossover help


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am gathering equipment for an upcoming build still new to many things looking for an active crossover that has a high pass and low pass filter for my front door speakers (mids and tweets). The more I look into it the more confused i become. because i only want to utilize the crossover for my front speakers I imagine i would need a crossover that would combine the rca inputs but I have been having a hard time finding one that does this. Any suggestions? And how would it be connected to the head unit if i am using separate amps for tweets, mids, rear doors and subs?

there is either passive crossovers, or active capable amps and hus

Thanks. I am aware of the types of crossovers but more so trying to find one that i could set the high and low frequency for both my mids and tweets while still only using 1 set of rca cables to the HU

Maybe I'm missing what it is you're trying to say here but you only need one set of RCAs from the HU carrying a full-range signal to the X-over. Then you need two more sets RCA cables to carry the signal from the X-over to the mid amplifier and tweeter amplifier.

Have you checked out the Kicker "Front Row" processor / X-over? My primary reason for getting one was the time alignment feature. The fact that it was also a X-over was a bonus.
