Yes, you are typing in English!

I was mistakenly assuming you meant active x-overs as something other than the DEQ-P9 itself!

Ok, this is perfect then!

And for that reason actives are great...which is hwy given the choice actives are what I choose. However in the hands of someone with limited knowledge it can be worse...so If you go active - wchich it sounds like you want to - make sure you get things setup right! [img]smile.gif[/img]

i run my p9 combo on focals with the active crossover.

Make sure you set the frequencys right so you dont pop a tweeter.
start at 4-5Khz for the crossover on the tweeter.

the deck will run 36db slopes as well, i recommend that setting [img]smile.gif[/img]

I suppose it could be benificial in certain situations as in certain placement situations.

I would tend to agree though. I would choose something a bit shallower.
