Posted March 13, 200916 yr Which is better Passive or Active? After askin on other threads i figured out the difference, but not sure which one is best. All i can figure is Passive would be better because you can use one channel of amplification and get 2 or 3 way crossover, and have that one channel power 2 or 3 speakers. So = better use of power. For Active you need one channel for one speaker. so more power is required by needing more channels, but that give you more control, right?Will one sound better than the other?
March 13, 200916 yr active has the ability to sound better if done right. passive is easier and more efficeint with power like you said.
March 13, 200916 yr Author ok. ill probably start off with it passive. maybe eventually go active if it doesnt satisfy me enough

Passive will be fine if you're looking for a daily driver or SPL vehicle. If you plan to acquire a SQ World Championship, you might want to start looking to go active.
