I ordered a Behringer DCX2496 digital crossover yesterday so I can hook these babies up to some amps that I am more familiar with and tune in the response a little better. I’ll have to hold off on a more expensive crossover for now.
When it arrives I plan on using the digital link from the cd player and setting up some sort of 6-way volume control between the crossover and the amps. I don’t know exactly what this will look like just yet, probably 3 stereo analog pots connected with gears and a small chain or something.
Anyone done anything similar?

I built up a 12 gang log pot by dismantling 12 dual potentiometers and re-assembling the pieces so that they all connect together to form a single very long multi-ganged potentiometer. Tracking is reasonable, but not perfect. A six gang version would be better. Buy extra pots, and match the tracks using an ohm meter, then assemble matching carbon tracks as stereo pairs.

I use this beast to adjust the output volume of a pair of DCX2496's, configured as dual 5-way crossovers. See attached images. I don't have the manufacturer make and stock number, but I'll look it up when I get home tonight. - Jack Bouska
