if you build them big enough you won't need polyfill...

i really aint worried about pollyfill- just debating on wether glassing in some kicks is worth the time and effort. i want my system to sound like my speakers in the house. you know that warm midbass ring

kicks give you really great imaging

to me anybody can installa system with good midrange and highs but i've yet to be impressed with midbass. well let me take that back i heard a pretty system which consisted of a 8" midbass, 5 1/2 mirange,and horns. that sounded pretty good.

Kicks made an unbelievable difference in my system. Brought the midbass to life and solved some cancelation and imagin problems I was having.

Kicks do more for imaging than for tonality.

How averse are you to signal processing?

what do you mean signal processing?

Signal Processing: Having a small computer attached to your setup change the response curve so it will sound like you have good imaging.

Signal processing is just Eq's, external crossovers...that sort of thing. Something that processes the signal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
