[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8353886, member: 540940"] I would prefer the 4 ch option just because I've never heard an active sub I liked. I hear the Infinity's are decent, but not much else - not even sure they make them any more. Then again, I haven't spent much time around active's -- I'm guessing there are a few good ones out there. A good sized 4 ch can give you 300-400w rms to work with and doesn't restrict you to an undersized box and low power amp that a lot of active subs are going to give you. And I have zero issues with using a 2-4 ch to run subs. There will probably come a day where I downsize from my current two amp set up and go back to the 4 ch option you're considering. It's efficient in cost, space, and installation complexity. [/QUOTE]
