[QUOTE="mlo, post: 6497423, member: 616606"] I currently have a 10" sub in the Tahoe's rear barn door facing forward. When the HU volume is turned up and the sub is set where I like it is very directional and I believe the imaging is off. That is if what I percieve is infact imaging. I have been purposely relying on the sub so as to take the low load off the components for clearity with the HU's EQ. What I am realizing though is that I much prefer the sound of backing the sub off and bringing the low notes higher than I think I should with the front components. I have played with the fader between the front and rear and actually think I could do without the rear altogether if the front was fuller sounding. I am thinking of having a full length custom console made to house a sub in the front area. Not that it thrills me but because I think I have convinced myself it will sound the best. It is a family daily driver and maintaining a little storage and some decent cup holders would be nice hence being full length. Maybe even a double din area where it meets the oem dash for some options. I also know that the components and power I currently have do not quite cut it when I try to rely on them alone. They seem to be lacking in fullness especially on normal moderate volume levels. I tend to use a volume setting of 9-14 mostly but find the speaker authority is best at 18-21. I would like to have the authority at the lower volume levels. I am assuming this will likely be a combination of all the componenets involved. I would love to hear any feedback. TIA [/QUOTE]
