Yes but you need separate amp channels to go active, which he may not have available.

Insertion loss is negligible in a single order network.

I don't like the idea of adding 'inexpensive' low level components to the signal chain [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

There are charts there under the crossover section.

I`d say after mucking around with building my own passives.. you`ll get better results
going active and would save A TON Of time and money in the process.
Good passive components aren`t cheap and you`ll be forever geting the correct phase alignment.
Sure they will sound decent.. but will never sound amazing unless you have good computer software and a means to test the speakers phase and frequency response.
