[QUOTE="jdc0589, post: 4572859, member: 593530"] First post on these forums. My home forum (supraforums) doesnt have an active enough audio section. I put together what I think is a pretty nice system last winter, and I want some feedback! I am a lot more concerned with overall quality and tonal response than having a ridiculous amount of bass, etc...Also, the way the interior of the mkiv supra is layed out there really isn't a need for a rear stage, but ill probly add something for a little bit of fill later on.
