[QUOTE="1TUF14SHELBY, post: 12998148, member: 145739"] Tytus2012 - Are you saying you kept the stock 8" door subs in but have them powered with a different amp - correct? Do they sound at all different in terms of muddiness? I am even thinking of putting the stock 8" back in and unsing either GTMAT or Dynamat the lower half of the door panel and/or inside the little sealed cavity these 8" are mounted in (would polyfill help?) and maybe that would still give me some better low end bass but also tighten it up a bit. There is no question these kickers do tighten the bass, they just need more power or a way to turn them up without turning up the uppers. I don't think there are any ways to reduce the volume of the other speakers other than fading front to rear but then it sounds to rear oriented. As I said in an earlier post, the door subs need to be higher SPL and be dual voice coil to really do the job. Speaking to Crutchfield they have some shallow mount Helix 8" for $180 apiece. I'd hate to put them in and again be disappointed by the lack of volume from them. The good news is swapping the door speakers is not a huge chore, but I'd rather be doing something else with my time! [/QUOTE]
