[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8344253, member: 658055"] Depends on what you listen to. Door speakers tend to not play below 65Hz well, which is where sub-bass territory begins. On a related note, this is where you should set the HPF on the amp for your speakers, so it doesn't try to play notes out of its range. I'd have to agree, a small 8" or 10" sealed will be adequate to add those low notes, but it's up to personal preference. Decent aftermarket speakers installed properly (see KHA's build: [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/608637-2014-accord-sport-sq-build-keep_hope_alive.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/608637-2014-accord-sport-sq-build-keep_hope_alive.html[/URL]) will give you good midbass, which will thump, but it's not sub-bass - it's a different range all together.
