[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8710010, member: 679555"] The primary determining factor in bass response is the door itself. More specifically whether it can avoid resonance and seal well enough. I think you're on the right track with this set since there's not really a reason to have 3-ways in the rear doors. It's not the best set, but for that price range it's not a terrible choice. I've never been the biggest fan of Kicker personally. I'm partial to Hertz, and Focal if you can afford them and JL if you can't. Edit: If JLs are out of your budget I've heard good things about Polk Audio's DB series. The way the pros get low bass from doors is often by building enclosures into the fiberglass, short of doing this you're never going to get anything close to even a cheap low power subwoofer from the doors and it would still require substantial noise dampening to deal with the vibration. I'd say without going this far you could get as low as ~65hz but beneath that you're going to miss out not having a proper subwoofer even with good speakers and decent deadening. Untreated, 65hz will make that car's door sound like a tin can if played loudly. Keep in mind those are 2 ohms, not 4. Are you going to be using an amp or a head unit to power them? Many head units specify 4 ohms minimum. [/QUOTE]
