[QUOTE="goblues38, post: 1381094, member: 29724"] active means the amp is doing the crossover work. Sounds like this is how they are wiring you up. 7-8 channels 2 channels to front tweeters 2 channels to front mid woofers 2 channels to rear coax 2 channels bridged to 1 for sub To me that is overkill. Here is how I would do it. with a 5-6 channel amp. 2 channels to front passive crossover to tweeters and mid woofers 2 channels to rear coax 2 channels bridged to 1 for subs in theory, you gain a little more efficiency because you are not having to scrub frequency or power by going through a passive crossover (capacitors and coils). In most cases, it is not needed. one benefit is you are able to adjust the crossover point between the speakers to address any issue. As we said before...your stated goals of a nice sounding truck without breaking the bank do not line up with the system you were quoted. Dedicated active crossovers for separates is pretty high end stuff. And Rock and country will sound flat with just a single 8 at moderate volumes with the high end components and power you have. Why so hell bent on Audison? plenty of other amps out there. Paying labor....to do a system that you said you wanted, you should come in around $3k, and that would include 2 10's, no a single 8.
