what i meant by route of the signal was, how does the path from the amp change when it gets into the speaker,meaning-do the low inputs get routed to the 6.5 woofers-and the high inputs go to the mids and tweeters-or does the low input go to the 6.5s and the mids-and the high go to the tweeters alone...i hope i wrote that so you can understand me....Sushi,your responses really make me realize that i should have stayed in school 20 years ago...lol...thanks again....ron
