[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8661104, member: 664079"] so, heres the thing about active crossovers. In the car audio world, its not at all terribly common to use them for front and rear speakers. Matter of fact, for imaging purposes, running just a front stage is ideal, and decks that have active crossovers are built with that purpose in mind. actively crossing over the frequencies is far better for power delivery, but requires more channels of amplification as each driver needs its own channel. You also mentioned 4 ohms for the 8" drivers, while that will work and keep your amps from heating up too much, itll also not get the most out of each channel provided your amps are capable of running at 2 ohms. Running 4 ohm speakers to each channel is just leaving power on the table for most amps. Regarding the lack of sub for the timebeing, with decent drivers and decent tuning, you should be getting a fair amount of mid-bass from some decent 6.5"s to keep you happy until you get your sub, provided youre not as impatient as i am :) [/QUOTE]
