[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 6840411, member: 555251"] While I agree that there's no sonic difference between the two set up identically, the issue in a car is how much flexibility you have in adjustment...cars **** acoustically, so designing a fixed crossover and expecting the best results out of it for every car isn't going to happen. Not exactly sure what you mean by that, as I can think of plenty of designs at home that are actively bi-amped. Most large horn setups are bi-amped, as the L-pads for the 110dB/W horns would have to be [I]huge[/I] to compensate for typical midbasses. [/QUOTE]
