[QUOTE="Gene Hardage, post: 50241, member: 185"] Re: 3x12+2"wNL8's&4Xti4000's I'm certainly no expert and most of my opinions are just that - opinions. However it's generally agreed that amp power is wasted on caps and coils and that the bigger higher powered speakers usually get crossed over using electronic crossovers. As for the amp "seeing them" it's just another opinion based on how amps react to different speaker loads - wire length and gauge etc. Now we have even more advanced things like System Architect and Lake (sp?) that have some pretty spiffy bells and whistles. Silas mentioned "FIR linear-phase crossover" and I think that's what was done with this box. Whatever it is - it really sounds nice. It's a lot like that smaller 4x10+1" column that I got a while back that has a fancy passive crossover in it.
