Re: Active vs passive crossover

Passive crossovers at the input to the power amp is fine. As Russ said it is best left to first and second order filters. Active filters are not difficult to design and build. It can be done with one tube or transistor per first or second order filer.

For what you are attempting to do I would consider letting the main speakers run full range and trim the sub crossover to blend in as best as it can.
