Can I plug multiple speaker level inputs into 1 LOC?

I was thinking about getting something like this to use as a combination LOC and line-driver combined on yet another build.

Basically an active cross-over that also has high-level inputs. The SL55 has 2 sets of speaker outputs coming out of the stock amp to a 6.5 and 4 inch in the door panels. What would happen if I took both sets of these lines and put them together into the high-level inputs on the crossover then connected the outputs to the amp?

That's not what this product was designed for. If you need to sum two signals together I suggest a product along the lines of the JL cleansweep or some of the Audio Control equipment.

you can use it as a low level line driver, but you cann't combine inputs which is what I think you were asking. Not only would it not help but it would hurt the deck.

You can use a Y adaptor to split the outputs, or does one of those amps also have an output that you can run to the other amp.

thanks, I was trying to combine the two signals without paying ~$150 for the audiocontrol LC6 which is what I just put in the wife's car which comes stock with a 3-way active setup up front (8/3/1 inch setup).

The LC6 is working flawlessly and sounds great, but I thought it might be the same thing combining the signals into that product above. It lists a large range of input voltage accepted so I figured if I just ran 2 together it might increase the voltage of the input signal but still be within spec. Guess my attempt to save $100 bucks doesn't work out
