[QUOTE="Ole Bumpy, post: 8709536, member: 680348"] Hello, all. First time poster here. Been lurking for a while. I'm starting to get all my pieces together for my dream build but have a question. I originally was going to use a Focal 6.900(6x150rms@4ohms) with 4 channels for the front and back speakers then bridge 5 and 6 on the subs. Turns out those were shitty pipe dreams and I need more wattage for the subs i had picked out. Subs are Focal 10s K2 Power E25KX with 600watts RMS each(x2). So i grabbed the 1.2000 by Focal which puts out 1200x1@4ohms. So that frees up an two channels on the 6.900 that I originally planned for subs. Talking with the installer briefly today he said I could go fully active and skip the crossovers for the front components.
