Also are front components powered from the head unit or is an amplifier needed? |
your front components (which is just a posh way of saying your front speakers) are powered off your head unit as is standard from the factory, when people want to up their systems they tend to run them off an amp to give them more power/clarity. this will mean having to rewire them in from the boot or under the seat where ever you choose to put the amp (sounds harder than it actually is )
As for the channels bud you could run 2 subs off a 2channel amp or your components as there is 2 channels but if you only want to run 1 sub then what you do is bridge the channels this then gives the amps full power to the 1 sub
The difference between the active sub and non active is that the active 1s tend not to be overly powerfull but will give a good amount of bass if your only going for a light system on a budget,
