Awesome Sound! I wanted a more factory sound, not the trunk "rattling" sound you hear when people have boost really high and crossover really low. Many experts that have all the best equipment in their cars get into mine and think I have the best because it sounds so good! Then they see the blue box in the back with Dual on it and are suprised. The key is you have to know how to mess with the settings. I set mine to a more "Lexus, BMW, Benz, premium sounding system", not a "competition in the high school parking lot" war- and if you do this they wont hit "hard" if you will. I just have infinitys on the doors, a sony deck with DSO(Dynamic Soundstage organizer) that raises the treble and makes it seem like there is an imaginary tweeter at the top corners of you dash, Boston Acoustics 6x9s on the back window deck, that provide good mid treble, and allright bass for the rear, then the dual, and use your sony deck so you can cutoff the other speakers below 100Hz cause this dual will handle the rest with the boost not maxed out on the sub amp. Then the others with have maximum clarity at high volumes cause the bass wont be blowing them for a classic expensive premium sound.

i'v had these for a cupple months and theirs 2 things i didnt like about them. 1 the case raddles really bad, and really messes up the clean sould of the music. and the 2nd is that they dont punch that good. they are louder than anything but, its not a hard sold hit. its more rounded. i think it messes up the music. i would encourage people to buy some Punch 1's or 2's. for beginers, your subs dont need to be bigger. its the quality that counts trust me! i would go with something elce
