Posted November 3, 200717 yr I want to go passive over active right now because active seems way more expensive considering that this will be my first component build. But, how do I get good mids and tweets to sound good with the crossovers? JimJ said that these crossovers won't work too well?Amp: Crunch PowerZone 4-Channel Amplifier (PZi175.4).Sub: Dayton RSS265HF-4 10" Reference HF Subwoofer 4 Ohm 350w RMS.Tweets: Morel MDT-12 1-1/8" Neodymium Tweeter 80wMids: Dayton Classic DC130-8 6" 50wCrossover: Dayton XO2W-3K 2-Way Crossover 3,000 HzAnother question, will this ^ sound better than this: Pioneer Components, TS-C160R
November 3, 200717 yr You can't. Either buy a set of components or go active. If you really want to do passive you must measure your drivers in situ and then develop a crossover that is custom for your application. A custom crossover will cost significantly more than an active solution so it really makes no sense.
November 3, 200717 yr Author So then buying those Pioneers or in even better set of passive components will be much better than my set of passive components unless I go active?
November 3, 200717 yr It all depends on what your ears tell you. Go listen to some and tell us what you like.
