[QUOTE="derekcohen, post: 8850814, member: 688805"] The Pioneer ts-wx140 active sub was installed this morning, and I have been driving around with a stupid grin on my face. The sub has made a significant difference. The Alpine ilx-507a plus Alpine KTA-450 amp drives the Focal speakers well - lots of clarity, detail and imaging - but the largest speakers are the ICU-130 (i.e. 5 1/4"), and deeper bass was absent. I should have gone for the ICU-165 speakers, but was not confident they would fit the doors of the Boxster (and the factory speakers were 5 1/4"). Interestingly, the added low end seems to allow more detail to come through in the higher ranges. Music source is mainly Hi Res FLAC files on a 1Tb SSD connected by USB to the Head Unit. Second source is Tidal, again Hi Res files, streamed via an iPhone (at this stage - the HU has Tidal built in). Regards from Perth Derek [/QUOTE]
