Actively Running Comps

[NcHalfrican]

Can someone explain how you run mids and highs active?

[zayres29]

running comps active is just using some other means of crossing them over instead of using the crossovers that come with them i.e. a 3sixty and having separate amps/channels for each speaker

edit: there are other ways too but thats the simplest

[NcHalfrican]

So if i was to cross the speakers with a headunit i would have to use seperate amps for the mids and highs?

[skittlesRgood]

an active crossover is before amplification (inline with the RCAs). passive is after amplification (speaker wire).

if you just have mids and highs you only need a 2way crossover. it will have low pass for one channel and high pass for another. you will need to run each speaker off its own channel, so mids get channel 1 and 2. tweeters get channels 3 and 4. set the crossovers to what you want and enjoy.

go to BCAE1.com they have a great explanation on this and everything.
