I pulled the box out and found it was marked a single voice coil sub. Looked at the sub physically again and indeed it is. I took this on trade from someone so I went and had it tested with the amp. No problems, but it is indeed a 4 ohm SVC sub. Shouldn't be a problem then on either amp, and the...

So, new news. Had soccer tournies for the kid the last couple days so couldn't check back. Had the eclipse tested by a local guy on Friday afternoon. Turns out two channels have some issue but he thinks its repairable so I left it with him. Also, in the meantime, through word of mouth in my...

First of all, thanks guys. The information you've given here has helped me tremendously. Alrojoca, what you wrote is what I thought you meant, I'm just not as up to date on technical jargon as you are. I will be using the passive xovers for the front speakers and putting midwoofers in the rear...

I never bought the JBL set. Explain something to me though. What does "active crossover" mean in the way you are speaking? Wouldn't I need another two channels for the head unit to drive all 6 speakers correctly or do I use the passive crossovers on a front channel and still use the head unit to...

Thanks for the replies guys. I picked up the amp after my 10 year olds soccer practice tonight. I've decided on the JVC deck for sure and just purchased it online for 189 from Crutchfield. I did pay about 20 more than I could have elsewhere but I appreciate my ability to return and warranty if...

I was under the impression the Sony decks were garbage. I've always owned Alpine or JVC and been happy with both. Budget for the components would be around $125 tops. Realistically, cost is not an issue but I am not looking for building a multi thousand dollar system in a daily driver beater...

Thanks for the reply. I think you misread the post though, as the amp is only a two channel. This is why I am curious if I can run a passive set at 2 ohm and still maintain sound quality of if they have to be run on separate channels. I'll look into the head unit you recommend.

First of all, I'm a long time lurker though this will be my first post. Oh HI! Before I get flamed, I did do some searching for the answer to these questions and got many differing opinions and I wanted to centralize my answers if possible. Here's the deal- I have a 93 Civic beater that I use...
