Active Or Passive

[Hernan 10+ year member]

Sorry to butt-in, but I think this is along the same lines.
I'm likely going to be going active when the 7000 comes in a few weeks. From the setup in my sig, you can see that I'm currently running the 9835 with the passive xovers from the Rainbow SLCs. Those are being powered from the front channels on the KAR 400.4. The rear channels are powering the Rainbow SL165s in the rear doors.

I just want to clarify that if I go active, I'll have to get rid of the rear speakers, right? Because even if I buy a 2-channel amp for them, there won't be any output from the HU to send to it, correct?

Not that this is a huge deal, I'll just have to sell them and make some money I guess, though I did like having the rear fill for people in the back.

Thanks!

If you want rear fill, run a pair of coax/triax from the HU amp.
