[QUOTE="Hookah, post: 8534477, member: 671605"] Thanks for your honest input [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Building boxes is very simple for me and having a collection of speakers does not equate to having ever built a car audio system before. I like your suggestion of not even spending $500 by forgoing components, or buying higher quality components of smaller quantity. I assume by 'most sane people' you are only referring to beginners, since a lot of builds have several subs, amps, and other speakers. Since the goal is to maximize SQ, I was making the assumption that some balancing and placement would be necessary. The smaller sub(s) would play as low as they can. They would simply go higher than the 12" by the 12 being filtered lower. The other purpose for the smaller sub would be to focus on punch while the larger one handles a more ambient aspect. The mids in the center help to 'pull' certain frequencies there. Imaging and staging are apparently a big part of SQ. Since I have discovered these aspects of car audio while still being in the research phase, and you are saying those aspects do not exist or aren't worth considering, please let me know if I have been misinformed. Please be as precise as possible so I can be better informed. What do you think of the speaker choices, and amps and head unit? [/QUOTE]
