I need a recomendation for a crossover. The amp I'm getting (4 channel) too power my Infinity Kappa 4X6 plate speakers up front and the Infinity Kappa 3-way 6X9's rear deck doesn't have a built in crossover. The MMATS D200hc powering my 12" L7 does, so I'm mostly intrested in a crossover just for the 4 main speakers. Anyways, what do I need ?? I don't know jack about crossovers. What would you recomend ?? I want one that mounts in the trunk by the amps.

It sounds like you won't need a crossover. Unless you run out of outputs from your head unit.

This is to say, a 4 channel amp should have some high pass built in, which you would use to run the fronts and rears at say, 80-100hz

Then a through out to the sub amp.

Well, my Phoenix Gold 4 channel amp has a screw you turn too set the crossovers to either HP/HP, BP/BP, HP/LP, or LP/LP. Only thing is, I want the fronts on HP and the rears on BP, but there is no setting for that. So that's why I was thinking of using a 3-way crossover. Right now my amp is set on HP/HP. High pass is cool for the 4x6 plate speakers up front, but I'd like full range for the 6x9's in the rear deck.
