[QUOTE="crow, post: 2315817, member: 568415"] Add an amplifier to the Polks. You will not get the best out of them off head unit power, particularly in the midbass. Also consider adding some sound deadening to the doors. It's hard to get good sound quality out of a system if the mids and highs are struggling to keep up with the subs. I haven't heard the Audiobahns. While I have always been happy running sealed enclosures, many subs really shine in ported enclosures. A bass guitar plays down to around 40 hz but there are many elements in the music that go lower than that. It all depends on the space you have available and what the sub is capable of. I have a single 8" sub that has a nice punch on the kicks, but I'm old so that may not mean a whole lot [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] .
