[QUOTE="beerdruid, post: 8354050, member: 664685"] Thanks guys. I am not sure I understand the value in active versus non active and where the benefits are. What I can tell you is this...... I will need to keep the factory HU because of the integration with my navigation system and bluetooth. I have a stock system with 10 speakers and amp. Why do I want to change it out? Well the quality simply is lacking and quite frankly it's just not loud enough for my taste. Here are my preliminary thoughts and you guys can Polk holes in it if need be. Replace front speakers with quality components that operate with clarity at high volume. Disconnect the center front dash speaker. Disconnect the rear speaker's and run enclosure with 2 rockford fosgate subs which I already own. Buy a quality amp to run said speakers and sub box tied into a audiocontrol lc7i so I can manipulate and define level adjustments . I considered a sound processor at first but choose the more conservative route to start keeping in mind I can graduate to a sound processor fairly easy if I find myself unhappy. I spend a lot of time in my car and enjoy rock /heavy metal at high volumes. My current stock speakers are getting around maybe 20 watts a piece. Thoughts? Feel free to opine. Willing to spend the money on quality parts if I can accomplish what I want. [/QUOTE]
