[QUOTE="headbussaboi, post: 5009937, member: 570893"] Going active is the ability to fine tune the mid and high level. When someone goes active, they would be running amp power to the mid and tweeters, one off each channel of a 4 or 6 channel, without using the supplied crossover, that is why the HU has to be capable of different crossover points. The difference between 2 and 4 volts is the deck with 4 volts will supply a cleaner and stronger signal through your RCA's to your amp. Therefore, you won't have to turn the gain up as much to achieve the rated power your amp puts out. A gain is not a volume knob. You don't just turn it up and leave it there, A gain has to be matched to your signal from the HU's RCA's. Spend your time reading the sticky's and you won't need to keep replacing broken/fried equipment, since you don't have a car yet. That way, when you do eventually get your car, you won't spend $100 on a capacitor, instead, put it towards a decent battery. [/QUOTE]
