Go-N-Def Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 What is the difference in sound between a component set on an amp and the same speakers minus the crossovers on the same amp? It seems to me the passive would or the amps crossover with clash with each other.

zxsonnyxz Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Your question is a little difficult to understand, do you mean active vs passive or? What do you think of when you say clashing? In a "regular" simple setup the amp filters away the low notes and the passive does the transition between mid and tweet, no clashing there. One thing that's different is you'll need less power to be equally loud due to the crossover not stealing power. And of cource you'll need to do active filtering to each speaker.

ToNasty Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Are you asking what's the differance between passive and active? ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-N-Def Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Ok, you can say between active and passive but, with the exact same mids and highs that would have come in a component set. Would the sound alike? The other thing was if you put a passive crossover on an amp but, the amp also has a crossover whats going to happened? Is there going to be over filtering.

ToNasty Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 All you are doing with the amp crossover is setting the hpf. You are thinking too much. ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-N-Def Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Let say I get a hold of a good component set with no passive. If I use the mids and highs would it sounds much different then if I had the passive installed?

ToNasty Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Well I prefer to run active. Not sure if you wpuld notice a differance but I did with my sundown comps a few years ago ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-N-Def Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I am questioning because I have access to two sets of components minus the crossovers and for the price I can run active for a few bucks or get them and search for some crossovers which my nor be worth it in the end. Im wondering if the passive is so great I have to have it to sound good.
