[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1901463, member: 550915"] Don't worry about the subs. Get the front stage set up right first. The sub accounts for typically less than 1 octave of the audio spectrum. The frontstage accounts for the rest. A decent sub can complement a good front stage, but the best sub in the world won't make a mediocre front stage any better. A good front setup with good midbass can make it so any sub will do. A proper install of the front stage is also vitally important. Either enclosing the front midbasses or establishing a proper infinite baffle setup is key to getting good response from them. Sound deadening the area around where the mid will be located is also important. I also wouldn't worry about an EQ just yet. A good install and the use of the time alignment and EQ functions in most HUs these days, largely eliminate the need for an outboard EQ for the best sound. If you find yourself needing a lot of EQ you have something wrong with the install. [/QUOTE]
