To those that are ACTIVE or want to or plan to

Going active got rid of my male pattern baldness and cured my herpes.

I wonder if it'll cure eD. or at least make their products better.

But it won't cure the fact that eD gives most male subjects over 25 ED! The effect is compounded if you have to deal with eD's customer service

anyhow..

I guess i'm just asking what is or should be the ultimate goal? Is going active the goal?

IMO, going active is just a step towards the goal. for me at least.

If you just want to get loud and clear, would you need to go active?

If you don't care about staging/imaging, would you need to go active?

You've already haad 2+ pages of people telling you their goals. Some layed out specific, well defined and realistic goals, while others bought with them the idiocy you appeared to be looking for. If you haven't gotten what you are looking for yet, maybe you should redefine your goals for this thread. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I don't know how to tune well enough to make going active worth it honestly. Not to mention I'm lazy.

many people just posted some vague goals. To set their own xover points... ok. to pick and choose, mix-match, speakers.. ok.

Many didn't say what they will do after speakers are choosen and xover points and slopes are set.

Maybe i'm just tried of people making threads about going active as they get lost in the process of going active and forget or not even know why they're going active.

i'm tried of typing the word active, now. almost as much as i'm tired of reading that word.

ctrl+c, ctrl+v?

come to think of it.. I don't think i have a goal for this thread. I just tend to post things that pop into my head at the time. That's the basis for most of my posts. That, or the fact that I have horrible memory and have forgotten my goal... trying to figure out this active crap made me forget.

If it gives me 5 hours of energy with no crash, I'd buy it.

Ensoheavy Blockalot will do that.

On a side note: that 5hr energy stuff works. 8000% dv of vit B. it better.

I did it because the HU I bought (800PRS) was capable of doing it. I bought the HU because it had a 16 band EQ built in and I was going to buy an EQ. Learning more about it, I did like the idea of using my HU to set the crossover points instead of just buying a more expensive component set.

I didn't really have a goal for doing it other than to get the most out of my HU. There's still a lot to be done and learned about my setup, but I'm getting there.

now that you're utilizing the built-in 3way xover, it's time to utilize the independent preout level adjustments, and the 6 channel time correction/time alignment feature if you haven't already. In that order. Last would be EQ. 16 bands... nice unit.

I would do some EQ work first, T/A last for final touches.

Anywho, I originally went active because I had an older set of Type X comps, blew the tweeters but wanted to keep the mids. I knew using different tweeters on the X crossover was a no no, so I went active.

That was my original plan, but that eventually evolved into a head unit with the ability to do a 2-way front + sub, which eventually turned into a 3-way front + sub.

Now, my goal is a better stage. Width that can extend beyond the a-pillars, and depth that has me thinking I've got a band on my hood.

It takes a lot of trial and error to achieve this. Between proper installation, and knowing where to adjust your tuning, it's a lot of work, but the end result is worth it. Even when it takes a good month or two before everything is finalized, I enjoy the end result.
