So I have been wondering something.
coaxial speakers are 'full range' but do not need to be used full range, correct? you could build a 3 way passive component build using something like a crx-303 and a set of 6.5 3.5 and tweeter for the front right? I have looked and I can't find much info at all on that particular crossover, but if you google 3way passive crossover there are tons of venders selling them. I expect using something like that with generic coaxial speakers would be a compromise as opposed to buying a tuned 3 way solution, but would be better than trying to use passive inline crossovers, like what come with tweeters right?

You could power either setup a few ways. One amp channel per side and using a passive crossover is the most common/obvious.
Can also do 2 amp channels per side. On a 2-way you'd power the midbass and tweeters with different channels and use the amp crossover, no passive crossover. In a 3-way you could power the midbass off one channel then the midrange & tweeter together off the second. Use the passive crossover for this channel and the amp crossover for the midbass channel.
Could do 3 amp channels per side with a 3-way setup. This would be a full active system with all crossover points set by the amp (and HU for the sub/midbass crossover point) and no passive crossovers. Not sure I've seen anyone do this, but definitely possible.
