I currently have a setup consiting on an amp driving a stereo subwoofer (it has 8 small drivers in total). In that sub there is a 2nd order high/lowpass pair with cutoff frequencies of 100Hz. The high pass of this then feeds into a pair of stereo bookshelf speakers, which are 2 way and have a crossover of some description inside.
Now to me this sounds fine but Imagine with the string of crossovers it could be greatly improved. My plan was to start by building an active 2nd order low/high to replace the passive in the sub, and then if I can find another stereo amp (I only have 2 at the moment) I would go 3 way active later on.
My question is, if I build a 100Hz low/high pass filter, can I use the high pass output later on to drive another ~3khz high/low pair? Or would it be better to take all of the inputs from the same source and then make seperate low/high/mid pass filters?
