[QUOTE="okiedokie, post: 5786480, member: 599205"] Since your'e going to go passive right now, you can get a two channel with more power, then if & when you decide to go active you can buy a 4 channel amp. remember if you use 4ohms speakers on a channel amp you will get 4ohms, but if you bridge the amp to 2ohms, then your speakers will still be 4ohms,it will change the xover points on the passive xover, because most xovers are designed for 4ohms inputs, the cdt xover is pretty good, i went back to passive because i want to keep it simple, so i'm useing the cdt es560 xover which i'm starting to like. my mids are 4ohms, but my tweeter is 8 ohms which that xover was designed for 4 thur 8 ohm, at least that's what cdt tells me. Bridging will also make theamp run hotter aswell. just make sure you pick the right set for your budget, cdt hd line is ok, the es is much better sounding. have you looked into those rainbows???
