[QUOTE="htsource, post: 3249708, member: 579168"] I just got my front speakers replaced with Focal K2P's, sounds quite nice although I'm thinking of running off an amp, rather than using deck power. Here's what I have: Pioneer 980BT deck Focal K2P's for fronts Stock Bose amp running stock 6x9 Bose speakers in the trunk Nissan 05 Altima with upgraded Bose stereo My plan is to get an amp that can drive the fronts + sub, sub enclosure is as small as possible. Here's what I'm thinking so far: Setup A: Focal Kx33 13" K2 series sub and Focal 4x75W amp -> $1600 custom enclosre -> $200 Labour + cables -> $300 Setup B: JL 8w7 with high output enclosure -> $699 JL 450/4 4-ch amp -> $750 Labour + cables -> $300 I wonder if I better off using the JL amp to drive the Focal sub? Rather than using Focal all the way. Or should I get a sealed JL W6 or W7 instead of the high output enclosure. I really like to have a smaller box. I was told the W7 requires a ported box, sealed I better go with W6? True? I don't play loud music at all so I don't even know if I need this much power for the sub. Appreciate your opinions.
