Been trying to piece together my stsem. Definitely going for a SQL build. I was going to glass a piar of kicks with 6.5 components but ive been thinking about doing a pair of 8" shallow mount subs in the door. Kind of like steves lexus.

My plan is to have 2 pairs of t3's or t5's in the doors and then the kicks plus 2 15's for the subs. Would you do a pair of compnents or the 8's if you could fit them?

If you have 4" of depth then you could go with SoundQubed 8" sub. I was planning on putting one of those in each of my doors. Either that or RF P2-8. If you have the space I would go with the 8" subs.

I'll never own a vehicle I can't put 8's in the kicks. I have 2 systems with them and have built a few others.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

I know it can depend on the drivers T/S but do you prefer a sealed pod or venting into the kicks?
