[Bigbear 10+ year member]

Tomorrow I will be installing my 4 channel amp. crunch pzi1400.1. i know its very overrated @ 175x4. I have pg rsd5.25 comp up front and kicker ks68 back. should i use the amp to just the front stage(more active then using the factory xover). or should i use the passive xover and amp both front and rear??? thanks for the help guys!

if you dont know what you are doing and unsure of how to run active and have all the proper equalizing you need then dont go active, and if you want you can run the rears off the amp just dont turn the gains up as much if you want so the sound is more from the front

i say rear speaks off HU and comps off of the amp. Unless you carry passengers in the rear seat often and they hate the sound of un-amplified speakers.

kk thanks....I know its not really an active setup but it gives me a lot more flexibility in terms of frequency cut off

amp the fronts, run rears of deck.

it will work fine.

you sit in the front when will you ever be sitting in the back seat???? never.
