[QUOTE="GoldCountryCA, post: 8866074, member: 690466"] Thanks for putting the effort into that response. Funny you mention movies. This will be our road trip, camping rig. My family will be watching movies from time to time in the truck, so rear channels would be nice. The head unit I’m looking at (Kenwood DNR1008RVS) has 6 preamp outputs in addition to sub outputs. The amps I’m considering are either: [A]- 8x100w (Sony XM-8ES) & mono 1000w (Sony XM-1ES) - 4x100w/1x750w (Sony XM-5ES) [C]- 4x100w (Sony XM-4ES) & mono 1000w (Sony XM-1ES) [B]Questions: 1. I want to clarify…options 1-3 that you gave above are three separate options for the front door, correct? In other words option 1 or 2 or 3 in the front door? 2. By running active, that means a separate amp channel to each component in the absence of a crossover, correct? What are the pros to this setup? 3. What does IB stand for? 4.
