[QUOTE="Emvaz, post: 7674608, member: 640044"] Great, thanks for the input. I'll probably end up getting a new h/u that can play CDs and run an active crossover. On that note, I may end up going 3-way active eventually and would need something that can handle all the channels as well as my subs. If I run active in the front with a 4-channel amp (like 110-150/ch) , could I still use my current 5 channel amp (55x4 on the speaker channels) to power my subs and send a little power to the 6x9 co-axials in the rear (and run the xover to the 6x9s from the 5-channel sub)? Would this defeat my front soundstage or just serve to round it out? If I did it this way I would still have 2 unused channels in my old amp. Any suggestions as to what to do with these? I have two unused 5 1/4 speaker enclosures in the rear doors...again the question of defeating the front soundstage arises To sum it up: 1) can I get away with buying 1 good 4-channel amp for the fronts, and then utilize my old 5-channel amp (Memphis Belle) to run the rear coaxials (and possibly rear door components) and sub? Is this type of setup even advisable for an sq build? 2) instead, should I ditch my rear speakers and old amp altogether, and just get a mono channel amp to run the subs (or maybe just 1 good 5-channel amp?) Thanks for your time; It seems like with every answer comes more questions.. [/QUOTE]
