[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8534611, member: 650438"] not nearly the same thing. 80 prs is the gold standard for anything audio related. Even out of the box music sounds better than any cheap head unit out there. If its too costly, look into buying used you can find them for 150 or so. That clarion crossover does not have adjustable slope, that EQ is junk compared to the 16 band EQ the 80 prs has. So no those components dont even offer anywhere close to HALF of the results you can get with the 80 prs. Basically complete waste of money By today's audio standards. Again Too many things in the signal line can absolutely hurt overall audio quality. Its best to have minimal processing in the signal line and have a strong original source signal. Box building is not just math, you have to factor in the subwoofer's electromechanical parameters aka TS parameters. You also have to figure out your vehicle's cabin gain and acoustics. Its not as simple as just doing math. There's subwoofer modeling programs like WINISD which should get you started somewhere. Use torres box calculator for the math.
