Ok Don...GIVE UP THE GOODS!

(i'm guessing cd7000...since that is what you are so anxiously awaiting)

BTW - any truth to the CC / Eclipse rumor?

4-active is great and all, but does anyone seriously relize that you now need to find a place for:

-Tweets
-Horns
-Midranges
-Madbass Drivers

as well as having 2 - 4 amps in order to run 4-way active? Do you realize how much work setting that up would be?

Not saying it wouldn't be nice, but the amount of work/money needed to do such a thing > me

Actually, I was thinking that you could you use it fully tune a 3-way set up in the front AND a rear midbass and power it all off one 5 channel...i could be wrong tho'

If you were to do a 4-way active setup, you'd want a 3-way active front stage (2 tweeters, 2 midrange, and 2 midbass) and a sub(s). You'd need 6 channels of amplification just to power the front stage and one or more channels to power the sub(s).

If you don't have the ear, time, and/or money, just stick to passive crossovers. It's ALOT easier.

I would assume it would be a 3 way in front with a sub in the rear. Maybe I could be wrong.

Amplification isn't that hard. I have a 5 and a 4 channel amps in my trunk and I still have more than enough room to use the trunk how I normally would.

I added the 4 channel amp about 1.5 months later. Got really lazy and just bolted it to the back of the seat

4 way active = 3 way active front stage, plus sub.
