Howdy fellas,
I've got an upgraded head unit and speaker system, the only thing left to work with is the door "subs" and their amps.
I've heard the Shelby/Kicker replacement is considerably better than the stock units, even with the stock speakers, but they are both about half as loud as the stock and more focused towards low bass than midrange. I'm fine with the volume issue, my current settings cut their volume by -7 dB anyway, so if I set it to -1 dB the volume should be about the same.
My question is if I replace the stock units with the Shelbys, will I be losing out on low bass? I currently feel that the bass is too boomy on the stockers, but if I replace them will I end up feeling that I need to install trunk subs? I don't really want to install trunk subs as my trunk is usually closer to being full and my wallet is usually closer to being empty. Also are new amps worth it for them? I'm looking in the sub-$100 range for the amp if possible
I feel these are the right buy for me to finish up my sound system. Let me know what you guys think.
