oldschoolaudio Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just acquired an Audio Control 6xs. I want to get rid of the passive crossovers in my system. Question is can I use this to replace the passive crossovers in my component Soundqubed's without having to use separate amps for mids and highs. I have a soundqubed 4 ch amp but wanted to keep it separate front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I don't think so.I could be wrong on 6xs.sounds like you want a active setup. A digital design x1 would been better choice ..but I wouldn't do a active front rear system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolaudio Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 So I would need a separate amp to run the tweeters and mids unless i put a bass blocker on the tweets which would defeat the purpose of the crossover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karkov Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I had a 6XS back in the day but really can't remember. I still went passive on components but used it for 8" midbass and separation from front to back as well.

dolarbilz Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 6xs will work for active still need separate amp per speaker.its not a crossover like has freq and slopes. Its more of a crossover say you have one set rca out on deck.And you need run front rear sub.it helps cause it will separate it for you on rca outs.

I was just trying to see if I could use it and still have front and rear separation on my components without using my passive crossovers. I have a four channel amp that I could run highs though two channels and my mids through the other two, but I'd lose my f/r separation. I will probably just run my passives for now until I get another amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
