I will pray for you and her and I will bring it to my church in prayer as well. “Now I can rest again, for the Lord has been so good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears.” Psalm 116:7-8

You should probably start a new thread for some of what you posted tacoma. The main reason I argue for passive is cost, and by that I mean if someone takes the time to learn about crossover networks and how to build them themselves properly and for the desired effect then they will save alot of money. The easy way is active and yes I have run both and I have to say for me at least passive is way better, but I don't run rears and I don't run speakers all the way down my doors even where they will not be heard. The goal of any system should be that you have speakers from high to low covering all frequencies that music is reproduced in and that those speakers are filtered in the correct frequencies properly. Most passives cover this well enough, however for me I have and am now designing my new system to go from 30-12k hz using 8"s 4"s and 3"s and building my own passives with 400rms on each set. I guess everyone has there opinion and everyone's situation is going to be different and there are too many variables when telling someone that passive is better then active. I am defintely NOT saying that passive is better becuase neither is better then the other but more or less that it depends on what your money is like, how much time and skill you have. I think the OP had is answer a few post's ago so I'll shut up now!

You obviously didn't read the link I posted then!

By going out buying 360.2 so I'll look cool!

I painted my 91 civic with the one of the hardest colors - silver. I bought the paint from www.smartshoppersinc.com It's 220.00 shipped with everything you need and I mean everything (well you need an air compressor and gun) and I learned mostly from here www.autobody101.com . It did take alot of reading and then testing with my hvlp gun to dial it in for spraying the paint and then re-adjusting for the clear. If want to takle it yourself try small stuff like bikes or just small pieces of metal like 20" x 20" to practice on.

Not all electronic crossovers can do time alignment, as for passive's not being able to it's matter of placement, and +3db???

I have a clarion pro from the 90's and two alpines. Also they use burr brown crystals for the D.A.C's which makes cd playback incredible. I could have sworn all the big manufactorer's still make them though.

I guess my thing is I'm into the method, so in your case he got your user account info and password. So from there I would want to know how, do you use chats like irc or msn or yahoo?? Becuase if this moron got it once, what's going to stop him from getting it again?

So when you say hacked, what exactly happened? Becuase I play a game online and kids are always saying that but what they mean is they got scammed.

It was me, I hacked your account!

Dang Beejay has had like five different systems in that car in one year, he must be made of money!

In a passive network the components of the passive network bring the load to 4 or 8 or whatever depending on how it's designed. If you have two four ohm speakers (Tweet/Midrange) and you have a two way passive crossover for them, then depending on the components themselves (Value's of the components)would determine how much power each speaker gets but the load the amp would see would still be 4 or 8 or whatever you designed it for.

I beg to differ, Im designing my own passives for a threeway setup and it be controlled perfectly, and when you say waste energy exactly how much?

Yes and it depends on what speakers your running and what range they are designed for and what range the amp can filter and at what decibel of filter i.e. 6db, 12db, these things matter. In other words you cant run a tweeter and woofer directly off the same channel there's no way to seperate them so a passive would be a good way to go but it would have to be one that was desgined to filter the frequency's according to what the speaker can play in.

Active = electronic crossover i.e. 360.2 or whatever the name is of the rockford. connected between the amp and source unit. passive= coils, capictors. connected between the amps and speakers.

I read in "Advanced speaker designs" from radio shack, a book I bought years ago that performance was dependant on how the soft parts are balanced. If you had too much weight on the coil side it could bottom out and if too much on the surround, cap, and cone side it can come out of the magnet easier and have less control. A balanced speaker whether copper or aluminum would have great control if it's balanced weight wise.

Im running eight's in my door's does that count?

Yea, Im not reading all that either, sealed on type r's yuck and in the backseat facing you is even worse. The amp has nothing to do with why it sounds bad.

I was looking for some good guitar tut's to practice with and I seen this: At first I was like this should be funny, then I was like whoa. Not what I expected.

There's no way this car made finals in SQ. If anything it may have won some local stuff but those are dependant on local judges doing a thorough checking of an install against current SQ rules which most local yokals don't do!

I wonder if Sam Walten will sponser my car if I run all walmart brand???

You said it, there's no such thing as both sides being presented anymore like there ever was but you know what I mean.

I bet they are! If I was your local friend I would to

Ps. You can take the cover off and wetsand and polish it and then have a graphics place make you the same logo for the front and that amp will look brand new!

Very good amp, nice find!
