[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 50271, member: 4"] Re: 3x12+2"wNL8's&4Xti4000's Gene, Passive crossovers don't have to chew up power, just some of them do. If you're passively trying to pad down 8dB of efficiency out of your HF horn to match your LF woofer, then that power has to get turned into heat by a resistor. If there is inline equalization available, or if you're clever with the impedance of your components, there may not need to be any resistive padding at all. [/QUOTE]
