[QUOTE="forbidden, post: 1921018, member: 552189"] Are you looking for copious amounts of bass or something to round out the system and play to a respectable volume level? If it is the latter, consider a single amp system built around a good 5 channel amp like the Crossfire VR705D, Eclipse XA5000, Memphis Belle or similar. This is going to save you some real estate in the trunk, save you some $ on wiring, save $ on install and eliminate a possible ground loop and the noise that it generates. Consider the new Eclipse AVN6600 so that you are up to date with all of the mapping info (new mapping discs are available for the AVN5435, add another chunk of $). Nothing wrong with the single sub approach and firing it through the small pass through. I do lots of vehicles in this fashion. I build a two part box, basically a funnel that sits into the pass through and the box that fits into the top of the funnel. All the output from the sub is now forced directly into the cabin and does not interfere with the rear speakers or rattle the trunk excessively. Dynaudio makes some great speakers, same with Focal, Boston Acoustics, Eclipse and others. We all hear different and drive different vehicles. Good sound is highly subjective.
