[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8613777, member: 650438"] its probably because you are using components thats why it doesnt sound good with a lot of power. You have no way to attenuate tweeter and mid individually other than some weak options on the passive crossover. Thats the issue with components, you cant adjust the output levels nor can you properly time align each driver nor can you adjust the slopes and crossover points to match well with your vehicle acoustics. When you go active, stronger, clearer mids and midbass is way less offensive then having a big blob of peaky upper midrange/tweeter thrown at your face like most components do. When you do an active network setup, you'll see the giant difference in overall sound quality, sound stage and clean output. You can generally go a lot louder with active since you have a way to tame nasty upper mid and sibilant treble freqeuencies and allow the more pleasant midbass, lower midrange and upper treble sparkle shine through. Its really loud but it doesnt feel loud nor anywhere close to offensive, you can keep going up more and more and never get tired of it. Thats the beauty of an active network setup. I forgot, i'm using splitters because i have a fk ton amps lmao. Yeah man the ppi is okay in 4 channel mode but in 2 channel mode that amp becomes a beast. SQ, clarity, loudness goes through the roof. [/QUOTE]
