[QUOTE="Chromavita, post: 3715657, member: 584345"] What sort of active processing are you talking about? The only item that I'm familiar with being active/passive is the crossover. What else comes with the decision to go active? I bought a 9883, but took it back to get the 9884, but I haven't bought the 9884 yet. Do any alpine head units support active systems? And can anyone give me a basic outline of how an active system is run? Just what path the signal takes from the HU to the speakers. I know running the speakers off the headunit isn't the best option, but would there be any harm to just running them that way temporarily? I think for my budget, an active system might be overkill (assuming it is more expensive.) I think a passive system might just be easier and cheaper, but if I'm wrong, tell me. Also, I'm loving the UCF avatar! I live pretty close to there, and I go to Valencia. I manage to catch a couple games this season. Go Knights! [/QUOTE]
