Just as an fyi it isn't unusual to spend as much if not more on the crossovers than the drivers. The full rangers in my office have nearly $250 in crossovers for two $35 drivers and no tweeter.

Should clarify, early Miles is fine. As his chops grew so did the distance from easy listening.

External, internal, amp, headunit, processor....all the same in what they could possibly do. Specific capability is of course related to each specific unit. You reference wanting to buy Zapco. The DC Ref series amplifiers have plenty of DSP to replace nearly any passive (assuming 1 channel per driver of course). The disadvantage of this style crossover is you need a front end/PC or what not to control them. ie, you aren't driving and making changes. While doing what I just wrote at the same time isn't logical for your safety or others, being able to tinker as you think of what you want to tinker on is worth its weight in gold in the learning process. Sure it is completely unnecessary, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be the best money you could have ever spent on car audio. Learning is priceless though. That all being said, I love those amps. Could easily run them. Will do what is needed. I am a nut though. I NEED control. So much so my cure was to just repalce my headunit with a computer. No need to bring one with and plug it in anymore

It is funny to see the added complexity, but then you look at someone like Miles Davis who purposely plays things that are definitely not in the key just for that purpose while also doing the same rhythmic manuvers....and then realize he is doing it improve and can just make shit up like that in real time ANYTIME.

My favorite part

Gotta finish up the house but figured id post some pics of that progress in here.

Thought exactly the same thing when I uncorked mine years ago. One of the most accurate subs I have ever heard. Nice choice!
