active crossover to integrated amplifier?

I have this question and I hope I'm making sense.

An active cross-over will work with any amplifier, (including integrated amps) even a receiver. Its only a matter of having enough channel ins and outs to meet the driver count. The sound quality and power level of the amplifier chosen is another story....

Why would you choose an active cross-over?

@acousticdrivers I like active cross-over as much as a lot of mobile sound systems do, it allows you to have full controls of the frequency of the speakers themselves. just like what i have now, my integrated amplifier puts out some mid-low frequency in my mid-high(midrange/instrumental speaker) which destroys its

crispiness or rather should I say the tensile sound and it's not good. I need to maintain the mid frequency strong-crisp-punch so it will sound good. else it puts distortion

In theory it should. The active crossover will still send only the frequency range you tell it to to each intergraded amp. It's not an ideal set-up for what you are trying to accomplish, but it should still work.

@briansredd I see, for now thats what I'm planning to do since power amplifiers are kinda expensive, (crown, QSC) I just thought of giving it a try since I can afford activecrossovers and integrated amplifiers. yes It isn't an Ideal setup. finally I can work on this as I have heared your answers. I thank you very much and really appreciate it. practice & enjoy!!

@gabegeforce1 should work but not ideal.Just set the controls of your amps to flat.

@tubejojo123 yup, I wa thinking about it since integrated amps are a bit cheap than power amps. they provide good power to speakers as well. surely i love power amps like Crown(amcron), qsc's..

bro check there website is full of good stuff

and oh yeah i use active x-overs 2 way and 3 way mono its a samson s 2 way samson are good and a little cheap

[ryanyu59]

i kinda admit but for my high and mid i use an hi fi for the mean time but by dec i will by a samson amp for my folded horns now im still using my pa amp for my sub until i dont have the buget but if i wer you i kinda play around with the hi fi amp to get your desire sound cheers only in the Philippines we use hi fi amp for mobiles ^_^
