Is this OK?.. I heard that if words are coming out of your subwoofer then it is damaging it. I'm using the passive crossover correctly, but I still hear words from the component sub. I have a built in crossover as well but I only have a choice of High or low passive filter. I'm using the PPI PC2300. thanx

is this a subwoofer? or a midrange/midbass speaker? you keep saying component sub. so i'am unclear if this is is a 8,10,12,15inch sub or if it is a 4,5.25,6.5 mid speaker... if this is a sub then there should be no words coming out if its crossed over right... if this is a 6.5inch speaker or smaller then there should be.

Subs are designed for low bass information only... not vocals. The subs are usually crossed over in the 80-100 Hz range. A typical -12 dB filter/octave (or higher) should eliminate vocals from subs. Nope, won't hurt a sub at all. Just not filtered properly. If you have a passive crossover here, it should have a cap and a coil on MB/MR and same on tweeter.
If this is MB/MR, yes... you will (should) have vocals coming from these. These MB/MR speakers operate between 80-3,000 Hz. The tweets do the rest of the audio spectrum above ~3,000 Hz.
Say more about your entire system OK.

It is a 4 inch woofer. I'll have to find the specs on the component system. I think it's a midrange speaker. I do have a 12db button on the amp, but I havent tried it yet.........

a 4" driver is definatly not a sub... infact nothing below i would say 80hz should be fed to this speaker... you should be getting alot of your vocals from these....a 4" driver is only meant to get midbass and midrange which is vocals... so your speaker sounds like it is doing exactly what it is meant to do.
