[QUOTE="sexiewasd, post: 8516814, member: 604169"] Good bass for hard rock is actually pretty easy to get. For bass drums you really don't need to go below 40hz, in fact most PA subs don't do well below 40hz anyway. 40hz-80hz is what you need, and peak cabin gain for most cars falls between 50hz and 70hz, so a bandpass box tuned around there would be great for that while keeping it reasonably small. Hard rock needs really good midrange (not so much midbass) speakers up front, and decent tweeters. I personally favor tapped horns, but they take up a lot of room, so not sure if thats your thing, but they give amazing sound for rock music. [/QUOTE]
