Yep you need a crossover inline before the amp, or you need components that their crossover is bi-amp compatable (2 inputs)

do you know of any separate passive crossovers that are bi-amp compatible? and what kind of specs should i look for when shopping for either the inline or passive crossover? sorry for so many questions jeremy, just trying to do things right.

No problem man.

Honestly I wouldn't do passive, unless they came with the components. Yeah it may be cheaper, but most won't give you the control you want, and may not work well with your tweeters.

If you looking for total control I would look into a crossover / eq combo like the audio control DQX.

If you don't want to spend that much the audio control 4xs would work, or upgrade your deck to somethin like the Eclipse 8445, or 8455. The eclipse decks basically do everything for you, so they are very easy to set up. If you want to know more about them look at my review of the 8455 in the review section.
