: Hey Dave/Anyone:

: I am looking to re-route a sound system with subs on aux 5 and HF on Aux6. I am thinking of getting another 3-way crossover and setting my bottom cutoff around 100Hz and then setting my upper limits in the 5K range. For cost reasons I wanted to get this accomplished through one crossover. The problem is that the crossover is meant for stereo signals and I would be sending two mono sends with different signals. I don't think this would work. Obviously I'm trying to keep the cost down and amount of rack gear as well. What would you recommend here? Maybe I'm just looking at it the wrong way. Is there a piece of equipment that would handle this that you know of?

Hmmm, the stereo 3 way should work but tweets on an aux may need a more sophisticated setup to be benificial. In our systems we run the 2" all the out to 20K and then have our 1" tweets run from 8K out to 20K. Time alignment is important and it is important the the system sounds balanced and close to normal with the tweets off.
