[QUOTE="stevem5000, post: 347682, member: 549909"] Sorry I couldn't get back sooner... Thanx for the explains...really helps... Couple of questions came up... Much of what I listen to happens in the mid range frequencies, classical guitar for example... My home system consists of a pair of JBL Studio Monitors, circa 1968 or so...it's a bookshelf 12" and a 5" with the crossover at 3000hz, (I think)...in their day they were considered very fine speakers...this is what I am used to listening to... This system is what I would like to duplicate, more or less, in my truck... It's a 2000 Frontier ext cab with 2 small jump seats that I have removed and built boxes that fit right in the space the jump seats occupied... The boxes currently holds a pair of Boston Acoustic NX97's... There is about .4 cu ft left in these boxes and I found 3 brands of 8" subs that are supposed to cut off at 4-500 hz and supposedly work anywhere from .3 to .5 cu ft... I am thinking getting a pair of 8" Audiobahn's and drive them with a small amp... The question is, now that I understand high-pass and low-pass, do I get an amp with an internal crossover of about 4-500hz that is adjustable (this is hard to find)... Or do I get a seperate crossover and 2 amps and have the hu drive the crossover first then to each amp and the appropriate speakers...(more expensive)...This option would eliminate the low freqs going to the NX97's....but the same low freqs would still be going to my front speakers which are Boston Acoustic RC620's... I will have to say that I am very satisified with the current sound...all speakers are driven by my Pioneer DEH-P7500, no amps at all in the system... All in all I have a pretty good sounding system for about $800.00... I'm not interested in booming bass, nor loud volume...just a good full range system... I anxiously await any and all comments...
