[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8665260, member: 664079"] your question was perfectly fine, i was just trying to let ya know that some people will go to far extremes when theyre answering, so be prepared :D so, active is simply bi-amping the components without the passive crossover. passive crossovers are very parasitic, and setting the frequency rance for each driver before amplifying them is far better both in terms of overall sound and efficiency. You concieveably could get 2 of those pioneers for less than one of the rockfords and bridge both of them for your fronts and rears, tons of power on tap and a bunch in reserve. if you want to go active, its a great idea for your front stage. its a cleaner sound, more detailed and far more accurate. If you want to run active and maintain the rear speakers, youll just need a DSP and a little tinkering to get it set up, but once youve done that, youll think that the $150 you spent on the DSP was a necessity, not an option [/QUOTE]
