[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 5035471, member: 568577"] So true. I was going to install 5 PDX's in m spare tire well in my '01 Accord (had room for 6 actually). Also, Adding the 4.150 to the PDX 1.1000, I didn't see any difference in current draw. With those two amps I never got dimming unless I really cranked it. I turned the volume down 2 or 3 notches and it was still quite loud when I wanted it to be and it did not dim. The PDX's are very efficient. Even when I run my Kicker ZX 2500.1 @ 4 ohms or my RF t30001bd @ 4 ohms I got significantly more noticeable dimming and voltage drop. Going active you won't need as much power. I had the gains on my 4.150 set pretty much all the way down, maybe a couple notches above all the way down and my speakers got plenty loud (both the Iridium 6.2's and Zapco CK 16.2's). Ran them with the w200 and h701. I'd personally go all active. As others mentioned, it would be a waste of the h701 if you don't run completely active. I don't see the amps drawing all that much more current, especially the 4 or 2 ch amps. [/QUOTE]
