Really? Some excellent crossover-amplifier-speaker combinations are designed this way for the express purpose of eliminating the detrimental effects of capacitors, coils and attenuating resistors between the amplifier and driver(s). By the way, what is the signal path for your subwoofer? First crossover, then amplifier, then driver, right? Why do you suppose that is?

Therefore no one should?

Unless, of course, a person can disconnect some wires and connect some others inside the drivers’ enclosure.

The active crossover method has been discussed at good length in other posts here, so I’ll refrain from a lengthy pro-and-con dissertation. I’m not recommending true bi-amping, tri-amping, quad-amping, etc. as an easy-do for everyone. Unless you either have the knowledge and experience or are a careful and patient learner, if you want active crossover bi-amping, buy a system designed for the purpose.

I have some knowledge and experience to build upon with further learning. The happiness and satisfaction I receive from such a project makes the pursuit worth it to me.
