[QUOTE="jedidiah1225, post: 6671917, member: 619202"] Hey guys. After some searching, I couldn't find a straight answer to my situation. I just finished most of my install in my beater pick up. After finally getting it going, I'm happy with the results vs. the costs (super budget). Now it has me thinking about my convertible (2000 Toyota MR2). I currently have Pioneer 6.5 components (TS-something, I can't remember the exact model), running off an aftermarket HU, but I picked up a spare Kicker KX amp when shopping for my truck, which I plan to install in the MRS when it comes out of winter storage. Now, woofersetc. has cl-61a comps for $130, so I've pondered buying them. But space is a premium in my car (not to mention that I love it for its driving ability, rather than its cruising ability). If I install a sub at all, it will need to fit in a custom box, which only holds an 8" sub. But since the box is custom, the price for the whole package makes me hesitate. So, my question: does upgrading my components make sense if I don't complement them with a sub (or only an 8" sub)? My budget definitely has a limit, but it's somewhat flexible. The biggest budget barrier is the fact that performance, in my mind, merits far more budget than audio. Thanks for any input folks. [/QUOTE]
