Daddy_ Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I got a 2019 Acura RDX A-spec and the 3D ELS stock system sounds great but I'm finding it lacks depth in the lower end bass. I have gone through and ready some forums and turned off my surround sound. So the stock subwoofer is an 8" getting 50rms. I had a few options and was wondering if any of these would help me. The first option is to take the factory 8" out and replace it with a Rockford Fosgste P3Sand run it off the factory amp. I'm not trying to get louder as I mostly listen to volume 10 but want to add more depth. https://rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/p3sd2-8/ The next option is to add loaded enclosure that has a sub and amp built in a small chassis. Like the kicker hideaway HS10 or Alpine PWD X5 and hide it in the trunk storage area. I would keep the factory sub for mid bass and hopefully I can get lower end depth with one of these. What route is the best and has anyone done or added something like this? https://www.kicker.com/hideaway-hs10 https://www.alpine-usa.com/product/pwd-x5 Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy_ Posted December 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I was thinking of changing our my stock subwoofer for a shallow RF PS3 8" and run it off the stock amp. Wouldmdoing that and adding a epicenter improve it?

Daddy_ Posted December 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 What about adding the kicker hideaway HS10. Would that add more depth to my bass?
