[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7227713, member: 629857"] Common man, if your going to run a costly processor at least figure out the basics of it. Since the whole point of the processor is to run "Active" you need four separate channels of amplification just for the component speakers. 2-tweets + 2-mids not to mention the two channels for the rear if you choose to run them. Also the sub channel. Front 1) L+R will likely go to the tweeters (unless manual says otherwise), which will have their own two amp outputs. Front 2) L+R will go to the mid-range speakers, this will have their own two channels of power. Rear=rears sub= splitter (no reason to have stereo on un-locatable sub frequencies) you wont need a splitter on a mono amp just pick a channel left or right. the signal is summed at the rcas anyways. Active Crossovers = adjustable electronic crossovers (the crossovers on amplifiers for example are active crossovers) Passive Crossovers = Those small boxes that came with your component set. they are fixed non-variable (you will ditch these because the processor does this with its active crossovers that you have to set) setting the crossovers correctly is a life and death matter for your speakers so do a lot of research into this. You can make costly mistakes on an active system much easier then a passive system. [/QUOTE]
