amps that can run active?

[joe dirte 0]

What are some other amps other than the sundown sax-100.4 that can run 2-way active?

[johnecon2001 82]

All of them.

Can you be more specific maybe?

As in my headunit cant run active so I want to be able to do it with just the amp.

you're talking about 2way front stage?

As far as I know, the SAX-100.4 is the most affordable amp that can do it.

didn't zed make some amps that can do that? Perhaps his new line will offer the same processing power

Amps that can bandpass aren't very common. You'd get better help if you layed out more of what you were looking for.

cant the jl audio 300/4 do active, and a new one on ebay is just under what a sax100.4 cost.

The JL won't bandpass

If your head unit doesn't have the processing, I'd probably find a way to either upgrade that or install a small outboard crossover. Adds another component, yes, but if you're relying on the amp to do it you don't have a lot of flexibility there. With a separate crossover you have the flexibility to switch amps to better suit your install if need be...and a lot of the time they're easier to adjust

Of course most of the crossovers that are capable of running an active front stage are a bit pricy. Finding a used Coustic XM-3, -5, or -7 is a good way to go. The XM6 can be had pretty inexpensively. I have one that I got NIB off eBay for $50 shipped.
