[QUOTE="cacin, post: 867337, member: 10222"] To use an active crossover, you will normally need an amp for each output. The good side of passive crossover is you might only need an amp or just use the speaker output of your HU. Please also bear in mind that if you plan to tap tweeter to your current OEM ICE that comes with 4 speakers, take note of the IMPENDENCE of the speakers that you want to tap. Reason is, stock HU normally can cater for 4 to 8 ohm speaker. If your current stock is using 4ohm speakers, tapping your tweeter will make it a parallel connection causing the impendence to be 2 ohm (in assumption that your tweets is 4 ohm). So, you can either disconnect your front stock and connect your tweet (use proper passive crossover) or maybe, get 2 4 ohms resistor and connect it to each speaker connection, making them 8 ohm each. So, in parallel, they will still be 4 ohms. Some tweets do come with their own passive crossover (normally just a cap a.ka. capacitor which makes it a first order passive crossover). Go here if you plan to D.I.Y a passive crossover. http://www.bcae1.com/xoorder.htm Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
