[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8344294, member: 576029"] the answer to your question is no, you don't need a sub. properly installed speakers can have useable response down to 50Hz which is all most people need to enjoy music. this setup doesn't have a sub (yet) and bass response is fantastic, as is clarity and imaging: [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/611961-2002-camry-basic-sq-khas-wife.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/611961-2002-camry-basic-sq-khas-wife.html[/URL] the effort to properly install speakers is not trivial. search for my posts on the forum and you'll see what i mean. i incorporate subs last - which is opposite of most people. i do this so i focus my efforts on getting the speakers to sound as good as possible. after that, i add a sub to supplement the speakers and fill the bottom octaves. i build systems that sound good with the sub off and i also use a moderate sub level such that you usually can't tell a sub is in the car - you just hear balanced music.
