Do you know if your box is the right size for those subs? If it's a bit on the large side, you can always fill it with some polyfil...

On setting the EQ, I use an app called RTA analyzer, which is free and play test tones and try to level them all.

I would download some test tones: 1khz for speakers and 50hz for and use a digital multimeter (you can get them at harbor freight). Check out this thread on sounddomain: http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/65167/page/1. There's a focal setup disc #2 that you can...

Get an Audiocontrol EQX, tap into your back speakers so you can keep the stock HU and then maybe start by replacing the front speakers and add a sub. You could get a decent 4 channel to power all that. There are plenty of options to fit into the factory openings for speakers so that your car...

Can you do with less inputs and no fader? Audio Control EQX Series II crossover/EQ *mint condition* | eBay Oldie but a goodie, if you can get it for around that price.

Back around 92-94, my brother had two Radio Shack 15s in his car and they held up pretty well. I can't remember what he was driving them with, but you could hear him coming a mile away. I'm sure it wasn't SQ, but loud for sure.

Of course. Focal is a bit overpriced IMO, but the amp seems reasonable.

Nope. I have one running my comps and I had one pushing a sub a few years back. So again, what specifically is wrong with them?

What's wrong with Kenwood amps?

I have the IA6.5c set and they sound great. I still need to seal my doors and deaden a bit more, but I am very satisfied. After I added an EQ and set the levels correctly, they improved a bit more. I'd recommend them and they are $120 shipped at SSA.

How loud do you have your volume set?

You're right. Typo!

I use the Focal Tools CD #2 and use 50hz and 1kz for sub and comps, respectively. I'd recommend doing that and for matching the voltage with the speaker rather than the amp's capability.

I'm confused. Are your doors sealed or are you asking how to do that?
