Subwoofer, Active Vs. Passive

I recently saw in a thread that most powered subwoofers usually have crappy amplifiers.

Any thoughts on this?

Which is believed to be better? Active or Passive?

If most subwoofers have somewhat crappy amplifiers, would you be better off using an bridged stereo ADCOM to drive a passive subwoofer?

Thinking of that, I dont see many passive subwoofers out there. Are there any good reputable companys that specialize in passive subwoofers?

Ive been looking into building my own subwoofer, just for the experience. Who out there uses Passive Subwoofers, what do you use to drive them and why?

Thanks for all the responses. !!!

Im thinking of this for the 2ch setup im working on. If i build one, it will most likley it will end up being a party sub for rocking the house, i doubt i can build one near the quality of REL without alot of research, time, and lots and lots of cash. hahaha So i might just have to buy one for my serious listenin!
