[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8279969, member: 650438"] No, there are 4 channels for pure power and 4 channels that have passbands you can set to cross over the mids and highs. These are a comparison between a non active capable amp vs an active capable amp going active is fairly easy if you just focus on the front stage. However that luxury isn't for me since i have an 8 passenger van with heavy bass, I need front, middle and rear mids and highs or else everyone behind me will just hear basslines. Rear fill on head unit power doesnt do jack lol. also to point out another advantage to active vs passive. Some of these passive crossover networks do a poor job of balancing power between the tweeter and the mids which can cause one or the other to be harsh or muddy.
