Hi James,After hearing Biggs Buick.
I thought that a single sub located centrally would work wonders.
the tonal accuracy was amazing [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
stage width and placement was also great.
but, it's all in how far you want to go,and what class you wish to compete in.
i feel, the fewer drivers, the fewer problems with phase shift,cancellation,and other listening axis problems.

heavily dependant on front speaker location compared to the woofer location and very heavily dependant on woofer x-over point and slope. if up high on the dash you can get away with a much higher x-over point, if lower in the cab, a lower point will be neccessary for obvious reasons(more directional frequncies).

Bimmer...15" in the kicks is when the car went downhill sound wise. Earl had the new B & W Nautilus 801's. I thought the in car Matrix 801 had the best tonal qualities of all.
