[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6290732, member: 549629"] As I said above, going active means the need for more channels of amplification. With passives you run 2 channels to the passive (for a 2-way setup here) and it has outputs for all 4 speakers. In an active setup, you need 1 channel per speaker, so 2 for tweets, and two for mids. A 2-channel amp wont run a comp set active. You need another 2-channel, or a 4-channel. [/QUOTE]
