Full active setup...

[Mschumacher]

Sir mawalang galang po pa interrup sa inyo ulit... Sir medyo complicated ang plano ninyo more likely maraming kang makukuhang problema pagganyan set-up mo.. make your set-up simple as much as possible..two decent amps a "2 channel amps" and a "4 channel amp" or 1 mono amp and a 4 channel amp(if you dont want the 5 chanel amp)this will solve your problem.. dont worry at the moment with the ACTIVE x-over..and why not to worry coz if you buy this 3 way components already includes passive x-over.. just connect it straight to your 4ch amp(frnt/rear) and let the amps x-over do the job to cut the frequency.(wag yong mga generic na amps po sir dahil lalo sasakit ang ulo mo hindi reliable ang x-over nito) the 2nd mono-channel amp will power your sub.. Dont use your headunit alone to power the rear speakers (kung ito sa isa sa mga plano mo) more likely it will peak or clip soon enough..dyan ka magproblema baka hindi mo yan mamalayan nanagclip napala ang lingkod dahil sa lakas ng front ends mo..always use an amp the more power youll give to your speakers the cleaner it sounds..

"What if I do it like this I'll get one 3 way active crossover to filter the frequency for my 3-way speaker. "

if this is the case you will need more amps(3 amps or 1 2-chan for tweeters and a 4-chan for mid and woofer) for the front, 1 amp for the rear and another amp for the sub..:nerves: sir again make it simple..

What would be the best cheap amps, 3 way seps, crossover and subs you could suggest. What I have in mind is firland amps, dls seps, any 3 way crossover and image dynamics 8" subs.

choosing a speakers it will depend on how much you want to spend and kung ano ang comfortable sa tinga mo and would go for line-driver(it will help boost the signal from your HU) instead po sir ng Active X-over dahil yong 4volts mo sa HU hindi nayan 4volts pagdating sa amps mo at lalo lagyan mo pang active xover.. para walang regrets magaudi ka at pakkingan mo ang details bawat spkears sir ..dahil nangyari na sa akin ito may nagsuggest sa akin na brand (mamahalin) pinakinggan at nagustuhan ko pero my only mistake was im so anxious and cant wait..meron pa pala masganda at mura pa.. good luck

That's a thought, although for sure there are pros and cons going full-active like:

Passive: Impedance rise, once heated, the resistors, conductors, etc. heats up, thus changing the values of the crossover points you have, also it makes the Amplifier work harder amplifying all the signal then the passives would waste them by ditching those that aren't needed, thus the term filter.

Active: No Impedance rise from any external device, your amp would be less stressed because it amplifies only the signal that would actually go in your speakers, thus making your sound more consistent and a clear.

as for your questions, if you plan to go full active, no need to connect the passives, remember the diff between active and passive is where you filter your signal, active: before amplifying, Passive: after amplification, the best way to go active is through your head unit, also , do not be bothered much by the diff bet 2V and 4V, you can gain-match your amp with your HU and also these 2V, 4V values are MAX, not Vrms, by the time you really see 4V out of your HU, you might already hear distortion, if your HU is not full active capable, yes you can go with a an active X-over, like Lanzer vibe X5 or X6, as much as possible, try to get one that has 6 rca's as well, just make sure that you turn ALL x-over and filter to OFF from your HU and do all processing sa x-over, nice thing about external x-over is some also boost your pre-out voltage from 4V up to 8V. also try to amplify every speakers.

Thank you sir xtian and sir pajerokid for your suggestion. I've audi some active and passive sound setup when I was in davao and I like the sound that being thrown by the full active setup. both of the unit I've audi are pajero and isang tao lang ang nagsetup. The full active has a better clarity in it, and it feels like every speaker has their own job to do giving its sound a livelier environment. that's why I wanted to go full active and a pillar setup. So its ok to use a 3 way x-over? If its ok what would you suggest?
Amps (9 channels total most probably, Is firland ok???)-
X-over-
Seps(got DSL UP36 in mind already)-
Subs (Maximum of 8" only limited space kasi, Got Image dynamics ID8V.32 in mind) -

By the way my unit is Kia Carens and has a very limited trunk space so I can't go beyond 8" in subs. and also in a very tight budget.
