This one is going in a: 1993 Toyota PU Standard Cab. Basically right now I'm trying to decide if I should keep the current subwoofers, or if I should upgrade. My style is clear crisp and tight, I don't need pure power/boom. Head Unit: Kenwood Excelon KDC-589 Component Speakers: Kenwood Excelon KFC-XR51p (includes tweeters) Speaker Enclosures: Q-Form/Q-Logic Kick Panels Amp for Speakers: Kicker 120.2 -(considering upgrade) Subwoofer: 2x Kicker 05CVR8-2 Amp for Subs: Kicker? - not sure...suggestions? Well do you guys think this is over kill for a 4x4 truck? hah...what do you think? Suggestions? Will the 8's sound fine or should I try to get a hold of 2 10's and throw them in instead? Or is there another brand that has better subs for trucks? Again, I don't want loud thumping bass, I want clear and crisp. Also need a suggestion for the AMP to power my subs. I've already drained about 750$, thats w/o purchasing the subs/enclosure/sub amp. I don't really want to spend a whole lot more. I'm lookin at a max of 1k on this. Thanks.

werd Unregistered guest	Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2005 - 03:28 GMT look into image dynamics if you want clear crisp sounds. One of their models comes in an 8. And you can get the IDQ in 10. Or even 1 10 IDMAX would be awesome.
ben arends New member Username: Barnes Oregon Post Number: 3 Registered: May-05	Posted on Friday, May 20, 2005 - 05:28 GMT ok thanks I'll take a look at the Image Dynamics IDQ's. One more Q: Since I like clean, tight sounding bass, not the real loud thumping bass, which style of custom box should I have made? Obviously not bandpass...and I've heard different things about ported and sealed... suggestions? PS: this box has to fit behind a bench in a single cab of a toyota - i'll have it custom made if need be.

Just make sure you use the recommended box size for the sub.
