Having both PreAmp + Acitve XO isn't usually the recommended way. I have my preamp is meant ONLY for the SUB VOLUME.

I think there are people selling good XO's (2nd hand) in ZTH sell/buy section and gr8tuners.net

Check there out.

Mohawk aaa.... eeerrrrr....

If you are going to use the XO then the preamp can go (unlike me using the preamp SOLELY for the SUB VOLUME). But I don't know about specs as I'm NO where good in calculations :tongue:

Determine good or not the quality, surf around and see if any related comments to the product

guess a 3way crossover wont hurt, just connect from hu to xover to both amps, using front, rear and sub mode. u will need passives for front & rear comp sets.

I see... u mean HU to XO straight ? Dun need tru Pre-amp ?

Or continue using the pre-amp .... HU - Preamp - XO - Amp - Speaker ??

Any big different between 2 setup ?

How many filters you want to go to?

ICE is not water, the less filters the better well depends on how you see it
