[QUOTE="saj21187, post: 2429325, member: 570063"] I am somewhat confused about the whole going active thing. For instance my setup is going to be a set of kicker ss 61/2 components with the kicker ss 8" midbass driver up front and then my subs. As far as amps go i have a kicker zx2500.1(subs), zx450.2(midbass) and a zx850.4(6 1/2 and tweeters). And for processing i have a kicker KQ30 equalizer and a kicker kx3 electronic crossover. Im just kind of confused on how im going to hook this up. The crossover has sub, front, and rear outputs(which im not running rear fill) and a front and rear input. The EQ has an input and an output. So if im correct im going to run rcas from front preouts on the headunit to the input on the EQ, then run rcas from the output of the EQ to the input of the Crossover. Now this is where im confused. How do i go about hooking my amps up? I know the 2 channel that the 8" are running off of goes to the front output of the xover and the sub amp goes into sub output of the xover, but what about the 4 channel.
