808,

No argument, really. In my case the underseat woofer blew on driver's side. My search for a replacement led me to this site, and now the bug has bit.
I listen to a fair amount of acoustic/classical/jazz music, and the 30 HZ notes are not as important as those between 40 and 200. My instinct is to get the midrange right before I add the last octave with VP's stealth in the trunk. I am currently trying to get Jehnret 8 inchers for under the seat. The leading alternative is the Morel ADMW. In either case I think I would have a midbass foundation on which to build. I have the BSW kit, and if that doesn't work out I can go for other alternatives. 6spdcoupe has had some good things to say about the Jehnrets.
