lol, You could literally spend an entire work shift or two researching running active. You don't have to use six channels. As I stated, I recommended it for its flexibility. Controls, are you friend in the game of running active. I believe the Leviathan has some odd 12 different configurations? lol. And, it's an absolute power house at an extremely small foot print. To put it in lamen terms. The easiest way for me understand running active. Is if you were to simply replace your stock speaker locations, and utilize them. You could use the leviathan and bridge each pair. So ch1 and 2 would be your tweets, ch2 and 3 would be your midrange, then ch5 and 6 would be your midbass. At this point, you would use your available crossovers, either via the amp, your new radio, or an external processor. What this means, is that, ch1 and 2 would play everything from 4.5khz and up, ch3 and 4 would play 300hz to 4.5khz, and ch5 and 6 would play everthing from 300 and below. Now, I emphasize, this is just an random example I pulled out of my head while typing this, just to give you a stepping stone sort of speak. I hope this helps.
