[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 674096, member: 52914"] I think you've been sniffing too much wood glue... If you've got upgraded door speakers, why in the world are you wasting power and energy (from an amp, I'm assuming) on adding MORE highs and mids? The soundstage should be in the front, not in the back. You don't listen to the sound system from the back. Your sound will be really out of whack and sound like everything is coming from behind you, not surrounding you as it should. I'm sorry, but an 8" 'radiator sub' will NOT "hit hard". Will it make noise? Of course, its a cone moving air, but being unpowered, it won't make clear sound. I'd expect a lot of muddy tones paired with a fair amount of whoosing. I've heard set-ups like this before, and they simply do not sound nearly as good as an even half-properly set-up sound system. You've obviously got enough talent to build a proper sub box (just space those screws closer together for a sub box), so why not go that route? If money is a concern, you should simply wait a bit until you can afford to do it right. Just how I see it. [/QUOTE]
