Forgoing Rear Fill?

[SLrocket 10+ year member]

It's recommended right? Im worried that the sound may lack inside, but you guys are experienced so i just wanna know. Im also looking at putting in one 8" sub 300 RMS at 4 ohms. Have a specific one that you recommend? Im not looking for 'shake the car bass' but rather clean, defined bass that does 'hit' hard when called upon.

Once you get a proper front stage and lose the rears you might never go back. I know I won't.

As far as the sub, what car/truck do you have?

01 honda accord.

I dropped the rear stage after i went with 100rms to each front door.

05civic and my polk momo's given 125 rms per side and it sounds great without any rears fill. most back seat passengers dont even notice there arent any speakers in the rear unless i tell them.

It really depends on what you like. Some people like their car to have an "earphone" effect. But most music is recorded in stereo, meaning it is designed to be reproduced by a pair of speakers. Personally I like having a stage on my dashboard.

What kind of funds/space do you have to work with for a subwoofer?

my amps gonna throw 100 at em. good enough? anyone got ideas for a sub?

funds: sub should be under sub + box should be under 250-300

space: i still want my trunk lol, hence the one 8"

does it sound boomy? or crisp and defined? im going for the latter

TSSW841D pioneer shallow mount 8"

120rms and 500watts max

well its a pioneer 400 watt rms that can be found brand new for 60 bux and i would have to say that it can hit fairly hard but at the same time produce a crisp, clean bass
