yes that is what he means. What're you all using for crossovers at that high of a frequency? If I did go active then I have to dedicate another amplifier for my subwoofers or I could mix and match the Rockford amp for the highs and run one of the Van Goughs to the subs. I don't really get why it's so much more of an advantage to run an active setup than a passive setup if the slopes are correct and the you're running 2nd order like I was planning.

Alright let me make sure we're on the same page here, by active setup you mean running an active pre amplifier crossover and dedicating a pair of channels to the tweeters alone correct?

Are you saying no because you actually checked out the crossovers I linked, or is that just your opinion on the subject regardless? I'm not going active, I don't have a seperate set of channels to dedicate to running these tweeters, I personally think that's wasteful to begin with. I don't have anything against building seperate crossovers for each driver if that's really the only way I should go.

I got in on the Jan 1st special and purchased a set of Mach 5 Mli-65 mids. I've been planning a 2 way setup for my S10 that will run these mids, a passive crossover, and the North D25 tweeters. This will run off of either 2 channels of a Punch 600.4, or one of my Van Gough 600's. The setup is going into the door panels on an MDF baffle board that I'll be building soon. My question here is these tweeters are a low FS design and run at 6 ohm, the mids are 4 ohm. I found a set of Boston passive crossovers that're rated at 2700hz and I'm assuming they're rated at 8 ohm, here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Boston-Acoustics-2-Way...1QQcmdZViewItem If these are rated at 8 ohm, that should give me an 1800hz crossover point on the tweeters correct? I'm still debating on if I should chance a set of these crossovers, or if I should just fab up seperate crossovers for the tweeter, and the woofer. I already have the mids, but I haven't purchased the tweeters or crossovers yet. The NorthD25's just seemed like the best deal going for a Low Fs tweeter to mate up with these mids. Thanks in advance guys.

I just asked this question a while back and got directed towards the Ascendant Audio 8. It's about 1/2 of the price of all of the other flagship 8in drivers. I was heavily considering going with an 8 W7 but ended up getting in on the buy one get one free deal of the 07 Pierce Audio WMD 10's. If I had gone through with the 8in subs I definetly would've gone with the Ascendants; the other 2 price range options I checked into werer the Ed and the Id 8's but both of these are more basic steel basket 8in drivers.
