[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8871303, member: 591582"] I'd do this as well. I'd spend more money on a big 2 channel and have really nice and powerful components up front, then have a dedicated sub amp. Idk if you're running a radio or what exactly for source, but if you had radio powered rear speakers as fill, that would work, or do some heavier midbass woofers in the rear doors or deck, and try to keep it like a concert in front of you with bass from the back. Not sure if that phrasing is the best. I would at least do 500-1000w if you want to be bumping like decently well for beginning. Too low of sub power and the subs just overall aren't as capable with things like low end response, but it depends, just one of those things you'll have to figure out over time, what you prefer. Like you get 150w components on those front doors and like a 12" on 1000w or something, that'll be a great start. Just figure out how much of your trunk you're willing to sacrifice for a box and work within that. Make sure you get a good box and box design to match your car and woofer and listening preferences. Box design and type makes a MASSIVE difference in bass. [/QUOTE]
