powered sub: under the front seats?
#11
Just upgrade your door speakers. If you notice that is not 120watts rms its peak you arent going to get that much sound out of it. I dont know what your current sound system mods are but if you have the factory head unit you will not even be able to take advantage of running a filter so the mids and highs are going to still sound garbled at high volume plus I would think it would be pita to intall and tweak the sttings being under the seat. If it were me I would put some high quality door speakers with about a 200watt amp and that will give you louder clearer sound.

The powered sub has a remote so you can adust the crossover volume and phase. Amp'd 6 3/4"'s will give you good midbass but not good bass. I put bass blockers on the back 4x6 to keep them from distortaing.

i do agree that a 10" setup is the way to go. i had a 10" thunderforms with a sounstream amp on it and it was more than enough bass.
