Passive Xovers are the prebuild ones that come with the compent sets. Acticve Xover is when you don't install the passive ones and dial in the points yourself with a electronic crossover/EQ.

You have to be careful when choosing to go active because alot of electronic Xovers only go to 250h where the tweeters are going to need in the neighbor hood of 3Kh.
