[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8741894, member: 614752"] And made in the USA. Yes, they were on par with the other stuff we were running back then for sure. Up until the RF Power and CV Stroker came out pretty much everything was funky-pup tier, though a friend of mine had a Celestion branded subwoofer that was pretty beast. Definitely not a repurposed PA woofer but a nice big booty subwoofer. Anyway, space makes bass and if you can give up more cargo area you can and will have more potential to get loud. My Jeeps (97) which is very similar body style sounded best with subs and port firing up. Sub(s) up and port to the side is also very good. Subs/port back didn't do all so hot and subs/port forward was the poorest performers. That all said if you really need to know what's best you will have to test everything, but subs/port forward are virtually never the best option in an SUV. Planet audio is not a very good brand and has not been since the days they were Zed made amps with tubes in the pre-amp. I would not trust their subs to perform as advertised because I know their amps flat out lie. Not sure what amp you have now, but power is extremely cheap these days so don't be put off by beefier woofers if you have the ability to build a custom box and don't mind giving up some space. Lastly Q-Logic has custom kick panels for my Jeep and may have for yours. They are extremely simple to install, look factory, and the imaging is excellent. They're spendy but if you use those + the factory front door locations you will have a good soundstage and all the output you could want. [/QUOTE]
