hi, i am getting ready to put in me xxx comps in since i blew the tweeter in my current speakers. ( The newer type r's) i am wondering which amp would you choose if you where only runnning front speakers.

Sundown Saz 100.2 and do passive with the came in the box x overs

Sundown Saz 100.4 and do active ( the only thing that is turning me away is i want 200 rms @ 2ohm)

Kicker Sx700.4 and do active ( see above for the turn off)

Kicker sx900.4 and do active ( the only bad thing is the Price)

Eclipse XA4000 and do active( 2 thing wrong not sure if the x over can run a 2 way active and the 175 watts)

and if it makes any difference i am getting a pioneer 980bt for the headunit i am open to suggestion on amps.

one more thing. if i take a dmm and set it to ohms i get 2.1 ohms for the mid range and 3.5 for the tweeter is that suppose to be like that?

I'd go with the Eclipse and get a head unit that has good processing, if that one doesn't. No point in going active and limiting yourself to just the onboard crossover if you're buying a head unit anyway...

i forgot about the off switch on the xovers on the amp. how can i tell if a head unit can do 2 wayactive. the 980bt says 3 way on the pioneer website for cross overs.

2 ohm, pfft.

it makes it easyer when looking for an amp to power them.

Aren't the XXX's midbasses only?

I thought they had spectacular midbass, but a really terrible midrange...needing seperate midrange drivers.

if i feel that the midrange is not good enough i can always just add a midrange then just do a 3 way. right

power is cheap and for a 2way set they just make absolutely no sense to me. Since you are already thinking active there are many better options.

i know but i tried to sell them anf the highest amount was like 200 and the only person that offered to trade was a very used 12w7 and like 100 bucks. so i am kinda of stuck.

don't mean to double post. but what if i got Rainbow Germanium W165 and used them as a midrange and then used the XXX tweeter and the XXX midbass a do a 3 way. and if i do that can i use a sax100.2 for the W165 and use the sax100.4 for the midbass and tweeter? and then use a pioneer 980bt as the crossover.
