[QUOTE="Alrojoca, post: 7831544, member: 638714"] I don't know what you mean by 6 speakers, *usually there are dash tweeters and 4 door speaker drivers, if you have 6 speakers in a factory set up *2 sets are hooked either in series or parallel since there are always 4 channels unless a sound processor is controlling 6 channels or the HU has 6 full range channels but I doubt it. Dash tweeters are usually hooked in parallel with the front mid drivers. *When you change everything you use different speaker wiring coming from the amps. The right way *I think is to set the HU xovers to send frequencies above 80hz *to the amp, setting the amps switch on flat, then the amp sends the sound to the passive component xovers then to the speaker components. Going active would mean using *one 4 ch amp just to drive the tweeters and the mids for the front components, *not using the xover from the speaker manufacturer. HU xover to amp (on flat setting) *then to the drivers using the amps front channels for the tweeters and the rear amp channels for the mids just to get your front speakers set on active you need a 4 ch amp. *By going active you are creating 4 channels out of 1 set of components, it is worth it but very complex to set up. That is why I gave you the 2 options for your equipment, you could only go active for the rear mids with 2 channels since only mids are needed in the back and go passive with the front components, unless you want to get an extra amp to go active in the front.
