[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8389203, member: 660781"] Yes, passive is easier. Passive crossovers usually come with the component speakers. Both tweeter and midwoofer plug into it. They're specifically designed for the tweet/mid they come with. I am pretty sure you will be fine going passive. Active just means you're not using the crossovers that may've come with the speakers and instead using the crossover on the amp or your HU. Active allows for more flexibility for your x-over points and slopes. Most of the time, if the x-over is designed right, it works just fine. High end components come with pretty ****** x-overs and mids/tweets blend together perfectly. You can do a 1000 watt system. There are other factors that come into play, so you probably will never use full amplifier power even if you have 1000 watts of amps on paper. Most mid-grade components handle 100 watts of power or less, so you'll need an amp that does roughly 80w x 4 into 4 ohms. You will have many sub/amp options, but the box will be your focus.
