Why should I run active?

" "No offense" is really just another way of saying "I'm about to insult you, but don't get mad." "

One of my favorite quotes. Haha.

I don't fuck around. I go from zero to I hope you die in less than 2 posts

Your comment was not at all fucking helpful so why post at all. It's people like you that do nothing but trash up forums. If you don't have something useful to say, DONT FUCKING SAY ANYTHING.

With a 3sixty you can independently (ie: for each speaker):

1. Adjust speaker levels
2. Adjust speaker EQ settings
3. Adjust time alignment
4. Adjust crossover settings (and not just frequency but slope as well)
5. Maybe more with the 3sixty.3 but I haven't used one yet.

All in all it gives you more control over individual speakers, but with great power comes great responsibility! You no longer have any of the protections built into the passive crossovers.

Also, it's takes a fuck ton of time to set everything so that you actually hear a benefit. It's A LOT of work.

Also I see now that you will be running 2 sets of components on a 4 channel amp. You won't be adjusting these settings for each speaker but for each channel of the amp. So the right channel your tweets are on can be adjusted independently of the left channel your tweets are on. Same for the mids. Does that make sense?

Holy fuck, is it everyone in MO that doesn't comprehend English or just you?

It was very helpful, you are just too dense to see through it. I was trying to be polite but I guess that doesn't work. Let me translate what I said in my nice typing to something that can be universally helpful in whatever language you speak.

If you have to ask why something will benefit you or ask to be convinced to do something you obviously aren't:

1) ready for it

2) going to benefit from it

3) going to comprehend how it works

4) will fuck up some shit along the way

well ROLEX. your such an asshole, how else am I suppose to learn about it.

Easy, use the fucking search button. Active passive sq are some of the most discussed topics on this forum. The same forum you accuse me of trashing up you don't even know how to use to it's fullest extent.

No, you want to be spoon fed answer. fuck that. Put the leg work in, get at least a fucking half clue and pose legit questions.

Fuck all that noise. I call a spade a spade and I'm an asshole.... please. And don't even go there with me trashing up this forum, shit..... I've contributed more than you ever will. So go do some home work. Schools out!

here's another clue for you and he's trying to be nice as well.

He didn't add the word KNOWLEDGE

I feel like using the crossovers included with the components sounds good already. Is there something I'm missing? Where's the appeal?

If you feel like the sound with passive crossovers is already good enough, how do these guys explain how much "better" an active setup sounds. How do they convey to you what you're missing if you can't hear it.

Their responses weren't overly abrasive and they answered your question in their own way. When visiting forums, recommend you pack your thick skin.

[_paralyzed_]

And here I thought I was becoming the forum asshole.

Seriously though, I think I know a lot, and I would not run active. There is so much to consider, it really does take a ton of knowledge to successfully run active.

Also, if you don't have access to an RTA it's kind of pointless.

Easy for you to say when you aren't the one asking for help. These fucking idiots do nothing but ridicule people looking to grow. Im not saying active sounds better. Im saying convince me why.

[MrSkippyJ]

I gave you a pretty decent list of advantages. whether it sounds better to you or not depends on your opinion and how much time you are willing to sink into learning/setting up everything. I will never go back to passive as long as I have similar control that the 3sixty gives me.

What does Missouri have to do with anything? Again, it's just you being an asshole. That's about as far as I need to read into your post because I know the rest of it is going to be full of shit. Nobody can fucking ask for help on the internet because of people like you. What is your goal exactly? Why is it that you spend time on here providing nothing for those asking questions? If all anyone ever did on forums was search, there wouldn't be any posts to search from. I wanted people to convince me why I should run active, not tell me I need knowledge. Go fuck yourself.
