[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8463577, member: 574798"] Yea 200w per channel is totally unnecessary and is a waste of money if anything. You will only use like a fraction of that power and you're losing a lot of it through heat dissipation actually. I agree what mylows10 is saying.. you should focus more on your front stage then slowly bring in the rear to fill in the void from the back seats. You want your stage to be coming from the front, not behind you. Just like a concert, you wouldn't have your backs turned against the artist/band would you? Your rears don't need to be expensive because they are not the main focus. When it comes to going active, it gives you the ability to manipulate your own sound signature and disregarding what the original manufacture of your speakers has done for you already, which is pre-tuning your speakers. Every car has a different acoustical reaction based on what surfaces they bound off and the space that you're in. You can't expect someone to give you a set of speakers and automatically sound perfect. It takes work. No more just bass and treble controls, you can set your own crossover points and slope. You can EQ in more detail for those nasty peaks, and you can also time align to make your music have the illusion that It's not like you "need" a DSP to make your system sound good. It just gives you all the control in your finger tips, which can be a curse and a blessing in the same time. In reality, there is no perfect tune. You do it based on your taste instead of someone telling you this is what good sound is. It will take you to the next level but at a price that's gonna be more investing than any normal system. There are plenty of people who are happy without a DSP though because it keeps things simple and cost effective.
