Do you mind listing the equipment you're running?
Agree it's fine, but I'd also like to know what else is being run in the system.

My personal preference is either use the passives supplied with the components, or go full active (probably what the shop is thinking, offering the $800 processor - probably with crossover capability). Running anything off the headunit with an outboard amp to me is a kludge. Understand the level matching, but they're bypassing the precise crossover points, slopes, and impedance matching the passive brings to the table.

It would be funny if there's isn't a high pass filter on the tweet.
