[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 8365691, member: 603800"] I finished up pulling the system out of the Jeep yesterday and ran the speaker wire directly to the back of the HU. As I previously said, I'm now running my 1720Cs actively from the head unit. Surprisingly, it worked. I had my doubts. Equally as surprisingly, it actually sounds pretty decent like that. I think the internal amp on the head unit amplifying a more narrow frequency band lets the amp channels provide more power to those frequencies than spreading it out. There was a big debate on this power distribution when using passive crossovers before with amps. I don't know if anyone ever tested it out using a low power amp where the differences could clearly be audible. Regardless, I'm happy with it. It's done. No more system. My cargo space is freed up for recovery equipment and camping. [/QUOTE]
