[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8182413, member: 628688"] My 2 cents on "active" capable amps: usually this just means they have bandpass crossovers. This isn't enough for a good active system. It's a neat talking point and it helps set this type of amplifier apart from the crowd. What I advise is to let your head unit or DSP handle the crossovers and run the amplifier full range. My suggestion for an excellent sounding amplifier without a large price tag is the Clarion XC6410. While Clarion and Robert Zeff no longer have any affiliation, Clarion has used Zeff's amplifier designs and their current amplifiers reflect his design philosophy. I would put the XC amplifiers(apart from the XC1410, which is an ultra compact option) against anything else suggested in this thread if one is looking at the amplifier as a device to amplify the music without coloring the sound or introducing noise.
