I'll send GM a email see if he can help Thank You Steve ! :2thumbsup:
passive yes...active no...the secret of my success have been the attenuators I use on the output of the behringer XO...that way I pump up the juice to the crossover but limit signal to the power amps. One big benefit of active is I can try hundreds of slopes/gains, eq,safety limiting, etc with the behringer... in effect I don't want the amp/speaker/xo to be tied together...it's just too limiting. I'm seriously considering an SET amp for the smaller system on top and with bi/tri-amping it's so much easier to mix/match and experiment.

I believe in your case you are trying to build the rod speaker right? If that's the case you need to research what they used for that project and tweak away.
