[QUOTE="platty13, post: 367176, member: 552212"] This is my first thread on a car audio forum, so don't beat me up too bad. Sorry in advance if it's too long. Anyway, I need some advice on a new system I am putting together for my '01 Chevy Tahoe. I had to buy out my lease on it because I was so far over my allowed miles, so I decided to revamp the entire audio system and do something really nice because I am in my car so much. Based upon what I heard and learned @ CES this year I have purchased the following: Head Unit: Rockford Fosgate (Denon) RFX8250 Ti Tweeters: Morel MT-23's Midrange: Morel Hybrid Ovation 4's Midbass: Morel Elate 9's I also purchased the new Morel Accuset MX-22 passive crossovers, but I have since decided to go all active with the folowing: Tru Technology T4.100 on the tweets & mids; Tru Technology T2.200 on the 9" Midbass; Tru Technology H-1 Hammer for my subs; and an Audiocontrol DQX to control/voice everything. Having already spent a significant amount of money on what I think is very good (subjective i know) equipment for the frontend and sub amplification, I would really appreciate some advice on which subs to use with this system. Although SQ is mostly what I am after, I must admit that I love to crank it up every now and then with some punishing, bumping bass! I will not be competing, nor do I want my nose to bleed; but I do want great SQ with the ability to feel some really heavy bass every now and then. Presently I have (2) 12' Alumapro Alchemy subs -- formerly powered by an old Orion HCCA 275. Although I was more than satisfied with the SQ of the Alumapro's with this amp, I really wanted a litttle more hard-hitting bass at times. Which leads me (finally) to the following questions: --What newer sub(s) would you recommend that would still give me great SQ but with a little more bass? --Which do you think would accomlish this, yet still blend with my frontstage: (2) 12's or (1) 15? OR --Am I so completely caught up with upgrade fever that I can't see that maybe I should just keep the Alumapro's with the new Tru Tech Hammer? All the subs I have been hearing here in Vegas are so "boomy" and sloppy, I am afraid that if I change my subs I will lose that nice tight SQ bass. Is it possible to have both SQ and SPL?! Any comments would be greatly appreciated. P.S. If possible, I strongly encourage you to demo the new Morel speakers. They had one of the best sounding cars @ CES. It was a VW Beetle with a similar frontend setup as mine, powered by an Audison amp. Definitely not a SPL car, but it sounded oh so smooooth! Besides, Kevin Campbell and Bob Morrow have provided some of the best customer service one could ask for--sorry guys for the shameless plug for Morel, but I had to do it. [/QUOTE]
