So young, so angry - damn that rap music.
As for the stereo, this is where I'll sound a bit preachy, but imho most people who add subs to their stereos are morons. They add these crazy-powerful subs with enough power to orbit Arnold Schwarzenegger...and use stock speakers powered off the head unit. EPIC FAIL.
Beyond that, if you're going to run something as absurd as a W7/L7, you *need* to upgrade your speakers and run them amp'd. I haven't done the real bass in my car yet (hopefully in Oct if time permits), but I swapped out the stocks w/ 2 pairs of Alpine SPX-17REF 6 3/4s. I just used the hardware they came with to make the rears faux-coax and the fronts are components and let me tell you...wow. Even in a Spyder (IE no top to keep the music in), it's just amazing the range/clarity.
For the bass I'm eying a Kicker L7 10" solobaric ported premade simply because it'll fit in the trunk and I can just pull it out if I need the space for some reason and deal with just the 8" (8w3v2 - sounds better than the retired 8w6...even before I inadvertently stuck my fingers through the *foam* cone...oy).
Short version: Get some *nice* speakers and amp them with a clean 4channel or you're going to be stuck with a horrible imbalance in sound.
