[QUOTE="SeanColey, post: 3986846, member: 585453"] I currently have a (yuck I know...) Kenwood deck... Don't have the model on hand... I have [URL="http://infinitysystems.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=REF6020CS&cat=COS&ser=REF&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA"]Infinity Reference 6020cs[/URL] components in all four doors I have an [URL="http://infinitysystems.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=REF5350A&cat=AMP&ser=REF&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA"]Infinity Reference 5350A[/URL] (5-Channel) Amp powering all four doors and two subs in the trunk... Just some cheap-o Audiobahn's until I get rid of them. I am actually now having a lot of trouble with my system because a friend screwed lots of stuff up when I let him take one of my amps out... Anywho... The speakers always sound amazing... But the sub range sucks... I want to get another amp to power another sub or two in the trunk... I'm probably going to have to redo the power cable from the battery etc. etc. which is fine... I'm getting that whistling noise in the speakers when I accelerate now due to a crappy tape job where an old fuse holder used to be under the hood... The car is a 95 Lexus GS300 so there's not too much trunk room but I was wondering what sub sizes would fit me best... I currently have a 10" dual coil and a 12" dual coil Audiobahn something something but want to trash them and upgrade... I don't blast my music too loud... I'm not trying to piss people off on the road but I do want loud, rich and clear audio. I love full, tight bass that can also hit the lows that my current 12 is struggling on... I don't need some massive 18" but I was thinking about a 15... Can I get a good 15" (not competition quality... but... decent) that can hit the range that maybe an 8" can handle? I love all kinds of music and that 10 and 12 that I have now aren't hitting the super high bass notes... Would it be stupid for me to have a 15, 12, 10, and an 8? Again, I'm not blasting music THAT loud, I just want a nice full-range of clarity. I listen to everything from heavy metal, to techno, r&b, country, and whatever else... I want tight bass that can hit the double kickers in heavy metal without sounding like a blob of overwhelming bass, but when I turn on my r&b, I want to hit that rolling, low bass. I understand I'll need another batt in the trunk along with new wiring... I'm only on a 5 guage to my battery right now. I'm not Bill Gates but I'm not affraid to spend a little. If somebody can help with any of this, it would be great. Also... If I were to get crazy and get a 15, 12, 10, and 8" sub, would the amp handle the power effectively?

I want all of the bass to be as close to the same volume as possible... If any of this sounds confusing just tell me and I'll try to clarify this rambling... Thank you in advance to whoever can help [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
