[QUOTE="JustinStone, post: 8715322, member: 680824"] I don't really have a goal, but I do want my audio to sound nice at high volume without distortion. I like to feel the bass kick in my chest, but while listening to rock at high volume I can hear a lot of distortion in the low mids whilst the cymbals play. I have resolved the issue for now by lowering the 2.5k hz to 4.5k hz range, but this dulls the "crisp" smash. For the box I have a 1.75' depth to work with, and 12" sub mounting diameter. Approximately 24L of air when empty, with 2.5ft^2 port. I understand your point about the rears not mattering as much, but I do need an upgrade from paper cone kenwoods I currently have. How about the R series, but the coaxial without tweeter and crossover instead? Keep the factory cabling or use the receiver's coax cable outputs? The factory cables are around 16awg, and I wish to get the full range of my speakers. The DD dealer I visited only seemed to possess the redline series, but tbh I feel that's good enough if I go that route. The d6 was recommended for the setup I have planned. Thank you for the information, I'll be sure to upgrade my cabling, and look into that "Ultra flex". [/QUOTE]
