[QUOTE="ShadowTech, post: 7059915, member: 577710"] I already know I will most likely receive much thrashing because my setup does not include any brands such as Sundown, FI, DD, AQ, blah blah, but I just wanted a decent daily setup in my truck. Here's a "diagram" of what I am currently running, the vehicle is a '94 Mazda B4000 Ext Cab. [IMG]http://shadow.doesntexist.org/stereo.jpg[/IMG] I just recently bought the JVC HU, and still have just under 2 months to return it to Crutchfield if I don't like it... I mainly bought it because it came with free 5-way 6x9s I could throw in my other vehicle. Before I get people telling me I wasted money, I don't have much invested in this setup really: PPI Amp = $75 MTX Amp = $50 Kicker Subs/Box = $75 Pioneer 6x8s = $110 JVC HU = $160 So right now I'm only sitting on a $470 investment, I do need to get better wire though, so will be right around $500. And for what I paid, it sounds fairly crisp on the highs/mid (running direct off HU, haven't hooked amp up yet), and the subs have a nice kick which isn't real sloppy for being ported. The main thing I would like to improve on though, is the subs don't have much in the way of ultra low response. Would these Kickers do any better in a tuned box, or are they pretty much as good as they'll get in the Kicker enclosure? This is really my first decent sounding system since I was in high school in the late 90s.. So I am way behind on all the new stuff out there. [/QUOTE]
