Running Active with CL-61/TW-24

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

I was just wondering what crossover settings would be suggested. I dont really know how high to go on the mids and am kind of clueless on tweeter tuning frequencies.

CL-61: 80hz-???hz @ 12db slope?

TW-24:???hz-20khz @ 12db slope?

I going to passive with 100rms per side with 4volt preamp to Active with 50rms per speaker/tweeter from a 2volt preamp. Think i will regret getting the 2v deck?

HU offers:

Sub- 20-200hz l/p

Mid-20-20khz l/p and 20-200hz h/p

High-1-20khz h/p

All @ 6,12,18,24db or flat slopes

Would i need to turn off all hp/lp filters on my amps and only use the HU's?

Well i am not sure. I bought them from woofersetc and have been running passive with w/e xover they sent with the set. I am getting the Apline cda-9853 and plan on running active. It will be the first time running active and i needed a little help with where to set the xover on the HU so i dont strain the mid or tweet and have to buy different ones. If i toy around and mess them up i will go with the mli-65 and seas neos.

cdt doens't excite me one bit.

for xover point for tweets, I'd start around 3khz. same for mids. I wouldn't go lower than 2.5khz on the tweets.
