[QUOTE="Kickstand, post: 8750354, member: 681842"] Run the 8's as midbass up in the cabin of the car Do sealed fiberglass enclosures If you can fit them in your front doors with the rest of your soundstage it would be ideal Skip the rea fill, it's just a waste Run active with crossovers or better yet a DSP AS for equipment, depends on your budget The first stage is the hardest to overcome because of all the hidden costs (wire, glue, screws, carpet, sawblades) You will save a ton of money if you learn how to do it yourself For example fiberglass enclosures for the front speakers will cost you $1000+ at a shop or $200 to do yourself It can be intimidating at first but it's not that bad once you get started A box for the subs will run you $400 or more at a shop or $100-150 if you do it yourself I'm not sure what the going rate for labour is around you but it's like $150/hr around here and installing is very time consuming. The best part of doing it yourself is that when something goes wrong you know where every wire and screw is It is so much easier to troubleshoot [/QUOTE]
