[QUOTE="jokers10, post: 7673761, member: 639380"] You can run an active crossover with seperate channels for each speaker if you want. There are plenty of options for an active setup, but it depends on the goal you are looking for and what to expect from the equipment you purchase. You could spend as little as $300 on a Sundown SAX-100.4 which is capable to run an active setup by itself with no external crossovers. It will get loud depending on the speakers you use, and could sound quite nice, however you probably won't win any SQ awards. Even if you get a DSP with internal Crossovers and EQs, you still might not win SQ awards, because your car might not be an ideal listening environment. So for advice, I would recommend you find out what sound you are looking for. Once you find that sound, by equipment to get you there. One of the reasons I want to go active, is so I can turn my tweeters down a notch. Mine sit way up in the A-pillars, and can be a bit harsh when the mids are getting to their sweet spot. I don't plan on competing at all, much less for SQ. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
