[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8162745, member: 576029"] i can say this: i don't use passive crossovers in a car and I don't use rear speakers either (unless specifically processed as rear fill). it depends on what your goals are. if you want a good sound stage and you want the speakers to sound as good as they can - run active. if you just want more speakers in the car, go passive and add rears. neither will necessarily be louder than the other. active can usually mean more cleaner output so you can play louder before distortion. adding another pair of speakers can only give you, at best, 3dB more output if they have the same sensitivity and power applied. if you have a sub, rear deck 6x9 are pointless and only hinder bass from the trunk.
