[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 6880474, member: 603800"] Bi-amping will let you use either a 4 channel amp or two 2 channel amps to power the component set and still use the passive crossover. This is handy if you want to have more control over the levels of the drivers. It's almost an active setup, but you're still doing the signal processing with a passive crossover or after amplification. If you're HU or sound processor is capable of processing the sound before amplification, you may be capable of going 3 way active. There are only a handful of HUs capable of this. Most HUs will do a 2 way active setup for subs and mids/highs. The mids and highs with these HUs will require a passive crossover to separate the frequencies. A 3 way active setup uses preamp crossovers for lows, mids, and highs. The lows will be lowpassed, the highs will be high passed, and the mids will be bandpassed. A 4 channel amp or two 2 channel amps would be required for this type of setup for the front stage.
