[QUOTE="cnwahlheim, post: 6764983, member: 618869"] I was wondering if anyone here has played around with an active crossover set-up using the Alpine Imprint processor. I am considering "going-active" in the near future and am trying to decide on which equipment will best suit my needs. I am currently running an Arc Mini 125.4 (four channels) to a set of Hertz High Energy 6.5" components (passive, front 2 channels 75 X 2) and a Hertz Energy 12" Sub (rear 2 channels 250 X 1) off of an Alpine IDA-X305 HU. One option would be to use my current four channel amp with the Imprint processor in an active configuration on the front stage while adding another amp for the sub. This option seems cost effective, but I am not sure how about the quality of the Imprint processor. The other, more expensive, option I was considering was to pick up a Zapco DC Reference 650.6 and use the on-board processor to run 50X4 active to the front stage and 350 X 1 to the sub. Of course, I assume that the latter would sound better, but due to financial constraints, I am willing to go with the former if the quality is reasonable. I would appreciate opinions from anyone who has had experience with any of this equipment. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
