[QUOTE="Spooney, post: 7881463, member: 584130"] Working backwards because I feel like it is important to start there.......... 3) Don't change those components man. If they haven't been abused I would imagine they are probably still in good working order. If they weren't it seems like it would be very apparent as they are the speakers closest to you and reproducing most of the spectrum. 2) The kenwoods would probably fit but you should be looking for something else. The kenwoods may very well be an upgrade from those old kicker subs because subwoofer technology has definitely improved but for that same money or a tad more you could get a much nicer sub.
