    Well considering the rest of your speakers won't be able to keep up with the sub because you'll probably max out the settings on your amp...do you give a damn about the quality of your speakers? It's really a subjective question. There seems to be a lot of people ok with running everything through a string and coke cans so long as the subs give people headaches.

    If you want a good install...it's going to take more than just a sub. Good clean bass requires decent mids. There's a lot of reasons for that but I won't get into a lesson here. If you want the most out of your sub that requires matching it with the mids in your current install. Mid range contour effects the bass line A LOT!!!

    So instead of doing all the research or asking us to why not find a way to "test" the setup in your vehicle before doing a permanent install?

    Eh, it looks like those speakers in my basement are 5x7's. So, whatever, I'll just pick up some cheap speakers to fill it out the 6x9 slots... something in the $100/pair range.

    I listened to the system tonight in his truck. It's actually pretty nice. The sub had a leak and needed to be screwed back in to the box, which he'll take care of (never noticed until I pointed it out and pinched it to seal, now his OCD is kicking in to fix it). For the record, it handled Crunk Juice quite nicely, though he usually listens to metalcore and such.

    He said it was currently set up at 2 Ohms because he had a problem with the sub drawing too much power at 1 Ohm or something. But if I buy it, he'll take care of helping me tune the equipment for my needs.

    As far as overall sound quality is concerned, I will eventually upgrade to nicer things, but for now I'm interested in limping along and happened to come across a decent deal. As a snobby musician with a half-decent ear, I always make sure I'm not just producing loud noises.

    Hah, sweet, Morad's selling me a full set of the Monsoon speakers on the cheap. That ought to help me limp along until I figure out something to really keep up with the sub.

    He tells me he's going to pick up high pass filters to do manually what a nice head unit would (I have yet to do any kind of reading on this, so I'm just taking his word for it).

    Thanks for the help everyone!
