[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 932102, member: 542392"] Active crossover onboard amp = free. 4 channel x 50 watt amp = cheap. 100 x 2 on 2 ohm midbass, 50x2 for 4 ohm tweeters. Trying to make it sound harder than it is, KISS. 1. Only have 2 channel amp? Sell it and get a 4 channel. 2. Have no amp? Needed to get one anyway. 3. Passives? Meh, 90% of the amps out today will do 2 way active without breaking a sweat. (as will a lot of the head units out today.) 4. Install? No worse than using passives, you still need to do the footwork - you won't be saved buying a premade set. 5. Active is not really harder than passive - set a crossover point after doing some general listening then start finding a location that sounds good. Only thing passive saves you is setting the crossover point, you are denied that added flexibility. [/QUOTE]
