OK.....I've done some homework on this site....thanks everyone!
Here's where I am. Could use a bit more advice.
I am planning to replace the four door speakers, and I am considering replacing the sub-woofer. But, if I do replace the sub, I will add a sub-amp. This will "free up" power from the base amp to strengthen power to the remaining seven speakers. Subs are power hungry. A number of posts indicate great overall results from an additional sub amp.
What kind of power would you recommend? Brands? Recommendations? I am looking for strong bass response, but not the kind that rattles windows and makes my eardrums bleed. But, I do want to avoid "bottoming out" and really am hoping to give my stereos bass resonance great strength. My musical tastes focus on the Blues (Etta James, SRV, B.B. King, Clapton, Buddy Guy, Dr. John, Robert Cray, Koko Taylor), Jazz (Dianna Krall, Stan Getz, Norman Brown, Fattburger) and mainstream Rock 'n Roll (Rolling Stones, Sheryl Crow, U2, Steely Dan) mostly....very little rap music. I don't require such a strong sub/sub amp that will cause car alarms to go off!!
Here's a list of subwoofers mentioned on this site. Some of these require a custom ring/dynamat while still fitting in the available space. If you have anyone of these, please feel free to offer any advice:
JL Audo 10" IB4
BOSS Sub with 92 db sensitivity
Cerwin Vega Stealth III 10.4 with 93 db
JVC CSLD3250
Kicker 10" O1C104
Pioneer TS-W28C
Boston Acoustic Pro 10" (did your custom fiberglass box fit in the available space? If so, what kind of cost? Results?)
Let me know how you like your system, what kind of sound you get, how happy/unhappy you are, improvements you want to make, if you used a custom ring to make the sub fit and what kind of amp & power you are using.
Will be shopping around this weekend....would like some advice from others I can trust....so I can keep all those aggressive sales reps on their heels!!!
