Hi everyone,
I have a small hatchback car, and am looking for a sub-solution without losing trunk space, so am thinking of a rear deck install.
My fronts are Kenwood Excelon KFC-X173 (80W rms, 6.5" 2-way coaxial 4 ohm) connected in parallel to Kenwood KFC-P709PS (which are the same as the X173s except no tweeter, also 80W 4 ohm), and connected to a Kenwood KAC-6203 (2 x 150 @ 2 ohm).
As sub I use a Kenwood KSC-SW10 150W active sub under the passenger seat, but this doesn't give me the "oomph" I need, and is too fidgety to tune.
I have two Kenwood HQ 3-way 6x9s in the rear deck (self-made 1" MDF, 15" x 40"), but going to get rid of them because, for the moment, my soundstage is all over the place. These are connected to a Kenwood KAC-8404 (4 x 50W 4 ohm, 4 x 75W 2 ohm, or 2 x 180W 4 ohm), but I don't think I will be able to use this one for the sub(s).
So I was thinking of replacing the HQs with 1 or 2 subs. Keep in mind that since it's an hatch (with collapsable rear seats), I'm never going to be able to seal the trunk, so I'll probably need to make an enclosure.
I'm not looking for SPL, but the sound has to be clean and crisp, and when listening to Dio's "Holy Diver", I wanna feel Vinny Appice inside me!
'Nuff said, could you guys give me some advice on how I could do this?
TIA,
James
