[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8710499, member: 675210"] Going "Full Active" means you will have a dedicated amplifier channel for each speaker in the system. From the subwoofer(s) to the mids (left and right) to the tweeters (left and right). So if you have 10 individual speakers you will need 10 discrete channels of amplification. The DSP will be your crossovers before the amplifiers for each speaker and you may even be able to equalize each speaker individually. You will then be able to make the sound from each speaker reach your ears at the same time (Time Alignment) so that the sound will have a truer stereo image. A list for you of things you will need on top of the stereo components... Sound Deadening!!! Priority #1 A laptop A calibrated measurement mic Something to set the gains with correctly Lots of time and patience Thanks for the kind comments :) [/QUOTE]
