Anyone know of good active crossovers?


I have a powered sub but can bypass the crossover section to use an active crossover. My problem is meshing the sub to the mains which is a little difficult when the mains are running full range and the sub is being cut off at a steep slope. I'm on a limited budget. I was just wondering if anybody knew of any bang for the buck active crossovers for say $200 or less used or new. If they degrade the sound too much at that price I won't bother. Is there anything at that price to really improve my situation?

Thanks,

The Dahlquist DQ-LP1 is perhaps the best sub-woofer crossover you can buy. It's major advantage over other offerings is that the high pass section is 100% passive and therefore does not distort or color the sound from your mains. It has all the adjustments necessary for seemless integration of subs with mains.
Thanks for the input everyone. The Behringer is made for pro audio right? How does that work out in a audiophile application?

I'll have to look into the Paradigms.

How does Dahlquist use a passive crossover? Does it have to be used with their speakers to work right?
Are the pictures of your system up to date? Looks like you have system setup problems to me. Is that the subwoofer over in the corner?...if so, thats not a good place for it at all. No crossover will blend that subwoofer, with those speakers...in any way, that will ever make you happy.

The speakers need to come out a little (if they can), and all that stuff between them needs to go, except the little subwoofer...it goes somewhere in there.

If you must keep the TV...get a small stand for it. Move all that other stuff out of there, and move the subwoofer in.

I don't have a camera to update my pictures. That was my setup at home over the summer. It wasn't the ideal setup but my mom thought the system was ugly so I had to make some concessions. (O well) My setup at school is better. I have the speakers pulled out more from the wall with the sub between them.
