[QUOTE="BIG-SMOOTH, post: 2739399, member: 574506"] I'm going to order a Memphis Belle next week and I need to order my new front stage, but I'm a bit unsure as to which route to go. The amp is rated at 75x4@4ohms or 230x2@4ohms bridged. Should I just order the raw drivers and run active with 75 watts to each speaker or order the full set with crossovers and put 230 watts to each side? Obviously I would have more control and tuning abilities with the active setup, but I'm concerned that I won't have adequate power going to the mids to really make them shine. The comps I'm looking at are the CDT M6 with drt-26 tweeters. On the other hand, I'm still considering the ID Chameleons which are available in 2 ohm models which would allow me to put 75x2 to the tweeters and 115x2 to the mids, eliminating my concerns if I went that route. What do you guys think? Eliminating the passive crossover on the CDT set saves me a bit of money, I just don't see 75 watts doing that midbass justice. [/QUOTE]
