[QUOTE="irie111, post: 7759231, member: 642065"] Not sure what you have done with your rear speaker situation but from your definition of what you like sound wise... My recommendation is to go with a single sealed 10" sub of high quality in a fairly small sealed box... Me personally would then install the 8" Soundstreams, they are VERY nice, I have a set in the rear deck of my Impala to give me some mid-bass and rear stage fill due to my all low only 15" HCCA vented sub... They fill that gap nicely, my sub does very minimal mid-bass period... Another thought is that the Soundstreams are bi-ampable meaning the tweeter can be separately amped/gained or disconnected entirely... They are a great option at a great value... I know the thread is a bit old, but it may not be too late or worse case can help someone in a similar circumstance... I'm very curious what you have done... A sealed reference SQ 10" sub will not produce the negatives you fear of overkill loose bass and no 8" free-air alone can accomplish, but the combination is a SQ systems dream... It of course comes down to do you want to invest the extra as well... If you withhold a dedicated sub, the JL's are the clear choice simply because they will give you the best bass if used alone... Personal preference I know but I do like rear tweeters when gained properly to keep your stage forward... And they certainly do not need to be pointed anywhere but straight at the rear glass because first of all you don't want to purposely overwhelm the front stage, and second, plenty of highs reflect straight forward when bounced off the glass in that circumstance...
