[QUOTE="jrodefeld, post: 8661159, member: 675958"] I already bought the deck, amp and speakers. It wouldn't be TOO much worse to spring for a subwoofer as well, but I'm not sure I'm ready to take that step yet. I'm kinda considering not even replacing the rear speakers, at least not for a good long while. From my understanding, rear speakers are only for "fill", rounding out the sound a bit mainly for passengers in the back seat. Since music is a stereo affair anyway, I could just run the Focals in the front, then a sub in the trunk and be good right? The sub that comes with the CR-V is located under the front passengers seat. Is this an okay spot to install a new subwoofer or would I be better off finding a custom enclosure and putting it in the back of the vehicle? I want my components to match. The Focals are pretty high end, as is the Pioneer deck. I don't want to skimp out on the subwoofer. Any recommendations? Lastly, I've been told by multiple people that it's important to use sound dampening material, at least where I install the speakers, but preferably throughout the whole car. I've heard that this stuff is good: [URL="http://www.raamaudio.com"]http://www.raamaudio.com[/URL] Supposedly as good as Dynamat but substantially cheaper. How difficult would it be to strip down the whole car and install this stuff everywhere? Or where would you think it's most important to install it? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
