[B]My first plan[/B]: Space is [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1"]#1[/URL] , so no subwoofer nor do I wish to custom anything. So I would have to comprimise. I need components, budget of $150-$250. IF I don't use a sub, I will use the Maxxbass to help emphasis some perceived lower end (it does work well) However What I want is a set that can handle mid bass really well because that Maxxbass will still strain a 6.5" but it's far better than using bass boost. I am partial to JLAudio. Crutchfield has a sale on JL Audio C3-600 for $249.00 which fits my car and comes with necessities. So far, I have not found any other online retailer selling it for cheaper (none i'd trust anyways) My question is, do you guys suggest something else in that price range better suited for me? Second question: This is a 4 door, I want to keep rear fill or for passengers. However they are stock speakers. Should I leave the stock connected to HU or buy cheap coaxials and amp them? I'm thinking the afformentioned but this will decide what channel amp I will buy. For this plan, I considered going an unconventional route by using my Clark Synthesis Tactile Transducers that I used in my home theater and attach them under the front seats. This would augment the Mid Bass a little bit or to say at least I would feel the bass since in this plan I will not be using a subwoofer. My second plan: Do away with Maxxbass and Tactiles, Sacrifice some space and use an 8" sub in a very small enclosure. This has limitations on low end and probably not as loud as i'd prefer so I probably should go SPL. The highest SPL I could get for the space, that i can think of, would probably be Bazooka right? Yeah I know they **** and are boomy but it's about compromises and SQ isn't my priority this time around. I would choose the JLA microsub but it's not very loud for the space.
