[QUOTE="kidwolf909, post: 3749134, member: 584155"] From what I understand, passive setups use the typical crossover in component sets that takes in one signal, splits it into highs and mids passively (without electrical input), and outputs two signals to tweets and mids. An active setup has separately amplified tweets and mids (so two amps) which are crossed actively within the headunit to direct the proper frequencies to the tweets and mids, for ULTIMATE tuning to your liking. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
