active vs passive

Recommended Posts

So ive been convinced by a third party to swap my fosgate amps for some audison amps and im wondering if i should still go all active up front.

Im looking at 2 SRX 5 channels rated at 4X75, 1X160 @ 4ohm or 2X150 1X160 @ 4ohm (all my drivers are single 4) and i was planning on keeping my 301x fosgate amp

I need to power pair front tweets, pair front midrange, pair front midbass, pair rear passive componants and center channel (9 channels)

Ive sorta boiled it down to either

All Audison active = 2X150 front midrange, 4x75 rear and front tweet, 2x160 midbass and center channel off the fosgate

Fosgate/audison active 2X150 front midrange, 2 X150 rear, 2X160 midbass and center channel and front tweets off the fosgate

Audison passive = 2X150 front passive, 2X150 rear passive, 2 X160 midbass and center channel off the fosgate

Mind you i eventually want to go 5.1 but i want the best sq possible

You want sq, you want to spend the dough on Audison's, and then you have 9 channels and want 5.1??? Something has to give because your are definitely going to fail on the SQ realm with what you are proposing.

^^^ lol sounds about right

Option one.. but I don't understand why you're doing 5.1 in car.

ive herd crazier... ya i know ill only watch movies and utilize it probably 1% of the time and its not the best environment for 5.1 but i sorta want to do something different and a better question is why not. who knows i might succeed :neil:
