I was hoping you would see this Daniel. I am thinking going full active but I believe I can do this on a reasonable budget since I am capable/knowledgeable on most of the installation theory and I have you guys for my relentless and endless questions.
I found I LOVD having that control over the time alignment, EQ, and levels all around. The Thunderbird system, with that kenwood h/u, showed me a whole new world of sound and flexibility. But the Chicken was never meant to be anything other than something to get me by until i found a car worthy of an active system.
The Prelude was headed that direction but I couldn't keep feeding that greedy money pit any longer. All the deadening, wiring, and planning just tossed out the window. I was so mad.
