ok this may sound daft if im using an active crossover to seperate the bass and mid high do i need to use an amp for each or can you configure it so your taking the output from the amp and splitting it through the crossover ?

An active crossover is for low level (not amplified )signals. A passive crossover can be used after amplification.

It is a question of voltages.
Mic outputs are around 5mV (0.005V), nominal "line" level is around 1V (strictly 0.775V, or 3V DC from a Pioneer DJM) and the speaker level can easily reach 50-100V, some big toys can make 200+V. You can imagine what would happen to components rated for 10V max, having 100V shoved up them. They tend to "fail". |

Why can't you just buy another amp to go with your Matrix?
