[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 5319916, member: 562649"] Exactly. Why buy passives when you have everything in the BitOne? If you prefer Lotus, then just buy the Excel equivalents and save some cash. Skimp a lot on your amp choice to free up even more cash for your install. The 5.1k offers that nice staggered power and an all-in-one solution for an active 3-way, but you can get a couple amps that do more for less. Plus there are lots of other capable 5 channels. 4x150 watt amps certainly exist and would be best used in your system with the front channels powering the mids and the rears bridged to your sub. Then, all you'd need is an amp for your tweeters. Should be able to find something for under $1/watt (ie 50 watts for $50). Or, as you said, a 6 ch briged down. But you'd still need a sub amp. I'm not going to recommend a speaker for a certian music preference because I think that's a little silly. Become familiar with the objective testing and parameters of drivers and combine that with what other's suggest. Don't listen to people who give unqualified statements such as " _________ speakers are amazing" because they are idiots.
