[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8601507, member: 650438"] pioneer has crossovers for the midrange's high pass filter and low pass filter and tweeter high pass as well plus subwoofer. While the kenwood only has tweeter high pass and midrange high pass, there is nothing preventing the midrange from playing nasty tweeter frequencies that mids should never play. Rule of thumb is to have it louder than you would ever need it to be and use the subwoofer level control on the head unit to lower it to where you need it to be. Always better to have a lot of output vs not enough which leads to a costly upgrade in the future and you lose out on the money you spent on the weak initial setup. How much watts and stuff is not as important as how efficient the enclosure is when it comes to getting loud and good sounding. A single 12 on 1500 watts in a sealed box will be utterly destroyed by an 8 inch subwoofer in a 1/4 wave transmission line enclosure on 500 watts. Thats how big of a role a box plays in terms of output. How loud you will get depends on your speaker's sensitivity rating. Usually speakers with 92 db sensitivity rating can get pretty loud with adequate power usually keep up with a 145 db vehicle. [/QUOTE]
