PASSIVE AND ELECTRONlC CROSSOyERS Your Granite amplifier is capable of driving a complete subwoofer and satellite sys imum output and sound quality, we recommend that you use electronic crossovers and multiple channels of amplification, as provided in the Granite 120.4 and the Granite 180.6. If only two channels of your Granite amplifier are going to be used to drive a sub woofer and satellite system, passive high and low pass crossovers will be neces- crossover components. db/Octave Passive Cro
