Thanks again...I have 12awg to wire up the box. How do you connect the wire to the back of the wire terminal on the box? I don't know how to solder...are crimped butt connectors good?the previous 8 would have had a lot of midbass which caused all the localization pulling the bass to the rear, the dayton should hit a bit deeper, more linear so there should be a better blend from the swap along with proper alignment which helps the phasing as well. However the most important aspect of up front bass, your front speakers need to have really strong midbass to pull the bass up front, like ungodly amounts, that is mainly what affects the up front bass image the most next would be with getting the subs and mids in proper phase with polarity control and time alignment for more accurate thuds on par with the midbass thuds. Since you already have a fix86 i'd just do the twk88 to have a matching set so you can sell it later on easier. You'll have an easier time tuning as well for a set it and forget it. With a dayton its less forgiving and requires an RTA to get the most out of it.
Secondly, is it ok to mount the sub over the carpet that extends to the edge of the round speaker cutout or do I need to try and cut out more carpet to allow the sub to mount directly to the wood?
