As far as subs go there great for the bass crowd.
I hope to be selling them a hearing aid in a few years after the hearing damage sets in.
EH  ;)

I'm not part of the bass crowd, my highest priority is high fidelity at loud volumes. I hate distorted or rumbly in my car. I had a pair of 15 inch subs in the trunk of my old mustang in high school.

It sounded pretty good! I'm not too showy of a person though, and my goal isn't making a 5 block radius hear the same music as me, but it could get loud. I had a hatchback though, and that probably made an accoustical difference.

just to let you know, Enterprise, 15" isn't that huge for a sub, I just wanted to share this, cuz I get the idea that you might not want subs in fear that they will be too heavy on the bass. It can really be good for an audiophile to get moderate subs.

Its actually imperative if you are a "true" audiophile to have good subs.  not to boom your neighbors out of existance, but to allow your mid-bass drivers to do their job within their frequency range without distortion.

I'm not a huge car audiophile (too much ambient noise to drown out) but I am a stickler when it comes to theater audio.  I would never consider removing my subwoofer LFE channel and rely solely on my main speakers for LFE.

But that's just me..... :dunno

Exactly my point.  A sub is a critical part of a good audio system.  Many folks can live without them, but I'd never call sound "good" by any means without a sub.  I don't want 8 subs in a car either... all I'm saying is you need a sub to get truly nice sound in a vehicle (IMHO).

A lot of folks are fine without it though, but I hate when people try to make subs out as unnecessary or just to rattle a car/room to pieces.  Ignorance to nice sound is bliss to a lot of folks though... and they'll continue to buy their Bose cubes for their home stereo and swear they are the bee's knees   :laugh2:

Most new cars have excellent sound systems installed already. For an average car, a good set of 6x9's in the back, passable front speakers, and a good head unit will be more than enough.
