    I was planning on putting in some upgraded back speakers that put out a good amount of bass, but now im thinking maybe just throw in an 8 inch sub or something, just to make it sound good. I already own a 12 but i dont want it to pound so hard, just looking for good sound quality.

    I have the Monsoon system and i also have a pioneer deck, but i dont know if i should put that in or just leave the stock HU.

    opinions? advice?

    pioneer deck, yes. memphis or pioneer full range speakers would give u good sound and bass that will be louder than the monsoons. OR if the pioneer HU has a high pass filter u can run only higher frequencies to the speakers and hook up that 12 for your bass and tune it to your likeing

    keep the 12, put it in a sealed box, and run a smaller amp. that should be ok. keep the bass and sub levels low and i would think you would have something descent...

    Stop firing the sub in the trunk?

    Get a real mid-bass solution instead of component speakers and a sub.

    the 12 was not bad, and i had it on a 300 watt amp when it was in my other car. 12's are just so low sounding i guess i what im getting at. you know how 10's keep up with the beat more and are higher. So thats why i was leaning towards the big bass speakers because they would obviously keep up with the music a lot better than subs, at least i would think so.

    and ya right now it is in a ported box, but my amp is blown so maybe i keep the setup. buy another amp, seal the box, and keep the sub levels fairly low yet keep the frequency high so it doesn't have such a pound to it?

    find a decent amp and either buy or build a smaller sealed box should be good. or find a friend that has a setup you would be interested it, try it in your car and see if its what you are looking for and go from there. thats actually what i am doing right now. i have a 12 in a sealed box and i cant say that i have a problem with it hitting the different notes( lows and highs) its hits them all just fine.

    Low sounding? Sounds like you have no midbass.

    get some real mid bass and you won't have that problem.

    4.5 mm Xmax * 250 cm^3 Sd = no bass.
