[QUOTE="2theMaxx21, post: 115399, member: 546337"] It will probably sound good either way. But before you start anything, play with your speaker placement before you start building. Set some speakers in the kickpanel area and the door panel area, and see what angles you should aim them, and where they should be placed. Play some music through them to see how it sounds before you start building and modifying. This is how the Pros do it. But if you ever want to upgrade your head unit in the future, you HAVE to get one with time alignment. And a built in high pass filter is huge advantage. I like to set my door speakers at 100-125HZ and up, which will let them play music real loud without the bass making them distort. And then of course the sub fills in the missing 100Hz and below. And a head unit with sub outputs and sub controls comes in real handy too. Some Pioneer and Alpine units have all these features. My Advice: Use a good headunit. Your sound system will only sound as good as its weakest link. Save up and buy the best sound system that you can afford. You usually get what you pay for. Instead of building several different sound systems and replacing speakers and amps with better ones every couple of months, just get good equipment the first time. It will save you lots of time and money down the road. [/QUOTE]
