Active crossover advice for 1000hz biamp

If you're bypassing the passive crossover, which is the only way this makes sense at this high a xover, you'll need to know more about the passive. Is it notched or shelved? Actives are usually 24dB/octave, fourth order or even 48dB/octave where passives are most likely first or third order, so there might be a narrow phase issue as well.

If the passive is unusual, there is a hybrid method, using the active one-way for the woofer and the passive for the upper drivers. If the speaker has biwire connections, that's not difficult, just going direct to the woofer.

You got a lot of homework to do before selecting a brand.

The speaker is custom made, so, there is no passive crossover. There are direct connections to the woofer and the horn. The compression driver is 109 db and the woofer is 99db. I was thinking of using an active one because I already have a good amplifier for the bass, EL34 20 watts and Im buying a SET one for the mid-highs something around 2-3watts.

Every horn I have ever worked with required equalization specific to that horn design, and I don't know of any off-the-shelf analogue domain active crossover with such capability. On the other hand, something that does digital signal processing like the DEQX could do the job... but it's hardly trivial to use.

Marchand can custom made one for you......is it not too high for crossover point the 1k-1.2k?
