[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8823536, member: 611804"] Unless you are running the subs in the front of the car with heavy dsp you really shouldn't run the 8s with a 12. With enough dsp and front mounted subs you could run the 8s in an enclosure 50-100hz 6.5dup from there to 3khz, and instead of rear mounted 6x9s run a set of nice tweeters up front 3khz on up. But again using 8s and a 12 mounted in different locations will cause phase issues and the frequency range of the 8s doesn't really line up well with a 12s bottom of range so they shouldn't share signal. 8inch subs in the doors might work but often don't and just cause rattles. An 8inch midbass would likely work better and should be able to play 60-500hz without issue. You really need 8 channels of dsp (tweeter,mid,midbass,subs) 10 if you want to keep the rear fill and to ditch the subs in the doors. I'd also ditch the rear speakers all they do is pull the sound stage rearward. [/QUOTE]
