Regarding a system where a DSP crossover is used so that woofers and tweeters are on completely separate channels, it seems to me that there are many standalone tweeters available, but not many standalone woofers at all. Do people usually buy component packages and just toss the passive crossover for this whole setup? Do they buy standalone tweeters, then coaxial speakers and just lowpass them to just use the woofer? Or does anyone actually have some good recommendations on standalone 6.5” woofers (preferably 4-ohm, 100W or less, and less than $200)?

Also, if you take a component-system woofer and tweeter meant to be attached to a passive crossover, does each speaker sound “off” when attached directly to individual amplifier channels, since they’re normally “meant” to be connected to the passive component crossover? Or is this totally acceptable?
