Been looking at active crossovers and my question is, as most seem to be stereo 2 way/mono 3 way, but I will only be wanting mono 2 way ( Sub/Mid for 5 string bass as in omni 212 ) can I use such a unit? Thanks in advance once again.

You can use 1 side of a stereo 2 way.
You may be able to find a mono 2 way out there made by someone or buy an amp with built in DSP capabilities like the XTI from Crown.

This could work if you're not going to high pass your sub:

As Ron indicated:
A Mono 3-way Stereo 2/way crossover often has enough flexibility and variability in frequency adjustment.
Ex A CX2310 crossover sums to a mono sub output.
Using it as a 2 way ( without a sub ) the Sub X-over frequency control becomes an additional H.P filter when set to 40Hz.
Used in conjunction with the 25Hz low cut filter; gives additional over-excursion protection.
