1. You don't need an active capable HU to go active. An external XO like the Memphis 16-XO3 will do the job.1. i have thought about active but i dont have a deck to support that right now.....i guess i could go the 4 channel route and run passive for now till i upgrade the deck....but i dont know how soon that will be....
2. plus i have never run active before so i dont know the first thing about tuning it....i am afraid i would get nice stuff then try to run it active and it sound like crap bc i dont know how to tune lol.....
3. so the plan for now it to do the doors to see how that improves the midbass. if i like it i may stick with the vipers for a while as i am a college student and dont want to buy anything unless i have to....if i dont like the midbass still they will come out for some pioneer 720prs....
2. That's the beauty and fun of going active... you can tune the crossover points and sloped to your liking. You're not forced to settle on what the manufacturer has decided.
3. Good plan!
