you do use something like the Behringer, DEQ,
but WITH a measurement mike so as to get it right, after 'trying stuff'!Also do use drivers that 'could have worked together' - eg. available in a kit with designed and supplied passive xovers, box plans or flat pack. and look at the xover frequency's for those.
Note that applying standard analogue active xovers - to spkrs already OEM'd with high quality passive xovers, can NOT be guaranteed to give 'better' results, unless
a) you measure - and follow - the voltage transfer functions of the OEM passive xovers in the spkrs, and 'tweak' from there on, OR
b) get the Mfr's own 'active upgrade' slopes / advice - if they can be bothered? Which may NOT be the same as their OEM passives,
anyway / either!Think - about it.
