Yes you do. Comp sets will play down to 80ish. A real good set 70-60 if you are luck. A sub woofer is used to take care of the other 70hz-20hz. Usually recording don't go below 30ish let alone 20hz. But i def. think that you will like the result of purchesing a sub. Even if it is just a 10" or an 8" you AWLWAYS yield good results.

The word NEED is an interesting one. I don't need an aftermarket stereo in my car - but I certainly do enjoy the better sound quality that I get from it. So, to answer your Question:
No, you don't need a sub with 2 or 3 way components, but a sub would be a really nice sounding addition to the system.

I personaly have an small fleet of cars. All have variations on sound systems from stock to an all out SQ system. I personaly feel all are good for there specific aplication. My daily driver has 3 ways up front and 2 way 6x9's in back. It sounds ok but is hardly used. The SQ system has 2 way components and an single 10 driver, it get used "sub"stanualy more. I guess what I'm trying to say is get the best you can aford, an sub does much more than any single component can on there own.Do the sub if you can! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Depends on what you listen to music wise and how loud you like to listen to it. 6.5" drivers can play down low but you can't "crank" them as they will for the most part start to break up. But you can get away without a sub. For you doubters........ any of you have a portable boom box and looked at the size of the drivers!??!?!??

That's not really the same deal though. Put that boombox in your car and go for a drive and all the bottom end will get gobbled up by road noise just like the car's mids
Heavy xover slopes, tons of EQ boost, and you can make a small driver do what you want - that's all Bose does. But Bose sux.
