Bostons 6.4's on ms-275
Bostons 5x7 on mps-2240
Boston 12 svc 4ohm(return dvc for svc) on ms-275
Its going into a f-150, I know that Iam not even running the mps at its capabilities, but want the control and clear sound. which xover would be the best?

No reason to return the DVC for an SVC. The DVC 4 will get just as much power on the MPS2240 as the SVC will on your MS275. And then you could use the MS275 on your 5x7's, so you would get more power to them... not that you would need it.

In fact, in an F-150, I would avoid rear fill like the plague. It draws your soundstage to the rear, and muddles up your stereo imaging. When you go to a concert all the sound comes from the front! You should try to replicate that in your car ;)

Ok I will, Thanks! Hey, about those xovers, If I run 2amps or 3 does that make the difference between the ax406a and the ax204a?

You only need the AX406/MX3i if you're going to use both MS275's to run your component set without the passive crossover. Otherwise the AX204/MX2 is what you want.

Note that with the AX crossovers, to change the crossover frequency you have to make resistor chips (we have a thread in the how-to section). With the MX crossovers you can change it by turning a dial, which is more convenient but less accurate.
