[QUOTE="spl801, post: 2523075, member: 573081"] These guys are right about the Dual stuff, its junk. The box with "plexiglass" you are talking about. Junk. sorry to be so negative, but I thought I would offer my opinion as you are asking. You have a nice set up except the dual stuff. you mentioned that you are not looking for allot of bass....like a good all around system. The polks are excellent speakers, and will offer allot of clarity to your system with some mid bass. The two key problems to focus on. Plexi= probably band pass enclosure= shitty sounding bass. A band pass enclosure is designed in short, to increase the db level of certain frequencies and pretty much taper everything else off. What this comes down to is some songs that have this small frequency band will sound really good, where others will not hardly hit at all. If you listen to multiple types of music stay away from the band pass enclosure. Plexi is good for looks, and that's about it. your head unit is good, but the deh-p3800 only has 2 pre outs on it. bump up to the 4800, this will have front-rear- and sub out puts. This will make tuning allot easier. When setting up a system keep in mind, that you usually get what you pay for. There is a reason that you can buy a Dual amp so cheep! Focus your money on a head unit that is of good quality, amps with good RMS power ratings, and clean sound. keep in mind companies that are too chicken shit to get there products CEA rated for true wattage, these guys are usually hiding the fact that there 1000 watt amp will really only push 125 watts rms when lightning hits the car.
