Amp and active cross over

[Tedward]

Can an active cross over (Behringer Super-X Pro) be run between the amp out put (LM-lll) and the speaker cabinet. The reason I'm asking is because I have a 15" cabinet with no tweeter and a 1x12 + tweeter. I would like to take advantage of the highs with the 1x12 cabinet. Each cab is 4 ohms so that eliminates running both cabs at once.

NO.

No............

The crossover is meant to recieve line level signal, NOT speaker output.

You could use a passive crossover designed for 4 ohm speakers between the amp's output and the two cabinets.

You could probably get by with a high-pass only crossover on the 1x12 cabinet (and run the 1x15 full range). By the time the 4 ohm 1x12 starts blending in, each cabinet's impedance is well above 4 ohms anyway.

You need a poweramp, not a crossover. Unless that 115 is a sub box, then you would need both.

Sure, for maybe ten seconds, then the crossover and probably the amp as well will be toast.
There is much to be said for reading owner's manuals, and they are easily found on line if you lost yours.

But the smell would linger for weeks.

My savings on the under!

Thanks for the input ( no pun intended). That's what I thought. I guess a passive xo is in order.

What I wonder is why no one has done speaker level crossovers actively on a large scale. If you can do it passively, you'd think you could do it actively

There are car audio high powered electronic crossovers.

Kinda weird.
