Default Zobel networks for tri-amp system?

Hey all.
I recently built a pair of 3-way speakers that I've tri-amped. The crossover is outboard. I like how they've came out but would it behoove me to put a Zobel network on each driver on the way out?

Thanks!

Hi, No. It should not make any difference, rgds, sreten.

Impedance correction would effect the load presented to the amplifier, not the active crossover. Sorry

While I agree with the above posts, if your amplifiers prefer a less reactive load or if you are using an amp without a low output impedance then you might have a specific reason to use them.

I'm running this active 3-way now. No Zobel. Amps straight to drivers. It's actually a 4-way. An active 12" subwoofer is not shown.

Dayton PT2 Plannar tweeter, Morel 55 mid and a Dayton DA270 woofer.
