Sound Proof???
Likely not. I used to live in a condo and never met my neighbor until I added a sub......... met him 20 minutes later! 
Manufacturer inspection cost
I always wonder if it didn't fail and go back for repairs when this is said. If the unit workes fine, why would you send it back otherwise?? 
First time for this, opinions please.

Bi-Amped Aktiv vs. Tri-amped Aktiv?
Passive bi-wired to active, bi amped, undoubtedly. The ninka’s are two way, and both bass drivers are identical, so you really only need two amplifier channels to go active. If you really wanted to, you could use a third and power each of the bass...
