[QUOTE="preunnerv6, post: 640929, member: 552919"] The the original poster: I've run a setup without a sub before. I researched and got this as a suggestion. Have you considered running a bandpassed rear fill? Before I got a sub, I had some front comps and bandpassed (about 100-3500 or so) STOCK 6x9's in the rear. (You could use any midbass/midrange speakers.) This gave me just a little bit more punch to the system and actually made the front sound BETTER than running the rears at full range or front comps only and no sub. At the same time, I never had a single passenger complain about the sound in the back. The bandpass was just enough to make them think they were hearing the full range, when really they were hearing the front comps and the rears were just pulling the sound together for them. It was really a win-win situation. If I put together a system without a sub, this is my preferred setup. Only difference is that I may change the rear bandpass range or run it in mono. But it's based upon the acoustics in the vehicle. Just a thought. There are ways to get acceptable sound and output in the situation you describe. [/QUOTE]
