[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8617815, member: 650438"] Processing and good budget drivers will outright destroy high dollar sets with weak processing all day any day. With passive component sets you cant adjust the crossover point and slope nor the output level of the mid and tweet. This is important because every vehicle has different acoustics and surface reflections and the crossover point on the passive crossover most of the times doesnt work, its rare to have a set work well off the batt and its not something EQ alone can fix. Also going active means 100% better soundstage hands down, you can time align the mid and tweet individually compared to a blob of mess soundstage with passive components. Not to mention you get more power to your drivers directly allowing more clean output. Its the install and tune which is important. There are cheap drivers that offer basically the same performance or better than high dollar sets that silverflute and vifa combo won 3rd at a meca sq competition beating out guys that have high dollar passive components in their sound system that didnt go active [/QUOTE]
