Originally had a Mark Levinson sound system with factorh front tweeters, 4 door speakers, 8” mark levinson Deck subwoofer. This is a long term beater for me i drive it a lot and plan to keep it till it bites the dust.
Current setup (Goal is loud accurate bass without compromising quality):
H/U: Kenwood excelon ddx3
Tweeters: Aftermarket (will update with size/brand soon if needed)
Door speakers (all 4): Kenwood Excelon kfcx173 6.5 or 6.75 2 way coaxial (got system set up in 2015 cant remember but will update) hooked up to kenwood excelon x302-4 class d 4 channel amp
Subwoofer: 12” Kicker CompVR ported box hooked to a kicker cx300.1 (mark levinson is turned off)
Sound Deadening/rattle fix: front doors, trunk, and license plate dampened, stuffed foam between rear deck light and windshield
Had this setup installed professionally in 2015. I had the speakers hooked to the head unit (giving 22 watt rms to each speaker). Added the amplifier last week and it made a huge difference.
My questions are:
Should I replace the 8” deck sub with another 8” subwoofer, or an 8”midrange, or leave it? (Will dynamat the deck as well if it happens) Here is the midrange i was looking at: https://www.crutchfield.ca/p_575PPS48/Rockford-Fosgate-PPS4-8.html
Based on the previous answer should i switch to a more powerful 12” or 15” rockford fosgate power series subwoofer; two 12” kicker comp Q series, or two 12” rockford fosgate punch p3? Open to other subwoofer suggestions as well!
