Anonymous | I currently own a Hifonics Ophilia 5-way x-over. I used it in competition years ago...(1990). I am looking to put two amps into my truck now and don't have any idea what x-over would be good. I know it needs to be 2-way, and that is why I don't need to use that huge Hifonics one I have. Any suggestions on a good 2-way, or can I just get components with their own passive x-over and put something on the bass amp? |

Anonymous | Thanks GlassWolf. I've seen some of your work on this sight...a lot of people look to you for input. I admire you for being there to help the unknowing like myself. As I said, I used to compete, but that was ages ago. I now just want to play. One more question, Do I still put the passive crossover on the components even with the 2XS crossover, or should I buy seperates that don't come with a crossover? |

Anonymous | Don't mean to bother you but I wasn't sure if you saw my question about the passive crossovers that come with the component sets. |

You'll still need the crossovers for the component set as well, which handle splitting frequencies between the midrange and tweeter. The 2XS will split at line level between your sub amp and component amplifier. What did ya compete in? I used to compete in IASCA Pro circuit in the early to mid 90s mainly. |

Anonymous | I don't know where my head was, I wasn't even thinking about the tweeter. I only competed in the local shows close to where I lived when I was in California. After I got married and had kids...14 years ago, I decided to put away some of the toys and become a family man...now that I have some time I want to play with more stuff. Thanks for your help. |

Unregistered guest | Any passive crossover will give you to much insertion loss, get a series VII 2 way Vega. If your gonna keep the same one in the car it can be used in seperate mode. The a@b eq/crossover operate independetly except for a monobase output. Any further ?s feel free to email me, i have a couple of these leftover from the 90's with the manual and have used one of them before. |
