[QUOTE="DarkScorpion, post: 6671977, member: 618537"] No, a lot of people upgrade their components without adding a subwoofer. In fact, if you take the time to properly install a nice set of comps, you might find yourself satisfied without a subwoofer at all. To install your comps correctly, first be sure that the amp is giving them ample power. Deaden your doors and SEAL THEM, meaning close off all the big holes and gaps in the door frame as much as possible. This way, the door seems more like a sealed enclosure for the woofers, and your mid-bass response will be significantly improved (just be sure not to seal off the water drains). After doing all this, listen to your system and see how you like it. You obviously won't be able to reproduce the lower frequencies that a sub is meant to reproduce, but you might be satisfied with what you already have. I'd go this route first if budget was a big concern. [/QUOTE]
