[QUOTE="redcalimp5, post: 3593350, member: 581803"] You don't really have to be "experienced" to run an active setup. You really just need patience, and the willingness to want to continually fine-tune your system yourself. the passive crossovers that come with your components already have the necessary factory recommended crossover settings built in, so basically when you run your comps with the passive crossovers, you can just basically drop them in, hook them up to your amp, and you're ready to jam. If you want to tinker with your crossover settings from your head unit, and really get into adjusting frequencies and slopes and how they affect your mids and tweets, then go the active route. And you're correct about your second thought. When you run your components with the passive crossovers, you will be fine with just using your 2 channel amp for them. [/QUOTE]
