Posted September 6, 200817 yr What is mean't by an active setup? A crossover built into the head unit? And Infinite baffle?Thanks in advance
September 6, 200817 yr active setup is when you wire your mids and highs directly to a good 4 channel amp that has the filters youd need to crossover at 2k +. so this means no passive crossovers. just using eq and filters off of the deck and amp. you must have a good 4 channel for instance the sundown 100.4 is very active friendly.
September 6, 200817 yr Author have you tried searching??Yes I did, and found only many references of people doing both IB and Active setups... There is nothing explaining exactly what it is any where that i've sene through my multiple searches

September 6, 200817 yr well dpeending on what you are trying to power. you could easily mess up going active and blow a tweeter up in 2 seconds fyi. but usually 1st channel-left tweeter 2nd channel-right tweeter 3rd- left driver 4th-right driver.
September 6, 200817 yr Tweet crossover point depends on the tweeter. There are some that can handle a lower point than 2k.IB is infinite baffle. By definition this is mounting a driver on a baffle without a true enclosure behind it. In a true IB setup, the Q of the system is the same as the Qts of the driver. The amount of space required for that is dependent on the driver in question.

For a 3-way active setup, you'd need six channels of amplification - again, the number of amps isn't important as long as you have all the channels you need
