Smoove Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Active ALC 20 all day. I have run both, for SQ I spend the extra and run active. For loud I am cool with a good quality passive. What do you mean about ALC 20? the ambiographic control? ALC 20 was made by Altec Lansing (old school). I always thought it was one of the coolest active crossovers. 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoove Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 What about Active vs Bi-amp on passive crossovers? 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Passive sets the crossover points and uses a small portion of the power and doesn't allow separate adjustment of the tweeter and mid range, unless the crossover has bi-amp inputs. Active allows you to set crossover points and separate adjustments of tweeter and mid range. There is no power loss due to crossovers in an active setup either.

White Lightning Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 My dash (mainly used for stage and image) is a 5.25" component set with passive crossovers ... The midrange and tweeter is close enough to each other that you do not have to separately time align for stage and image and is cut off on the low end by the head unit. My 6.5" midbass drivers are basically fullrange cut off on the low end by the head unit (time aligned separately from the dash component set) ... All of this is separately EQ'd ... So I guess you could say I run both, then again, if you break it down ... I run passive and fullrange ... kind of confusing, but honnestly, a simple setup Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??

wcefai Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 If I had the knowledge, budget, and time, I would definitely run active. But being new to the audio world, I'm fine sitting passive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
