| Sublime Acoustic K231 Stereo 3-Way Active Crossover w/ REL subwoofers Think subs you'll be fine. I split the signal out of the preamp. One to the active XO and one to the other speaker amps. I use Behringer, First Watt, and two valve active crossovers. They are all a little different. BUT I only have two active XO t... | |
| New catagory I'm for it. I believe in drivers license by the age of three too. Others should not be taught the word drive, only "BUSS STOP" Speakers building to some is like the BUSS STOP crowd driving. I say, know your strengths and weaknesses. :-) Regards | |
