I've had the Polk DB6502's in my wish list for a while now. After a couple glasses of wine, I saw they were on sale for $100 (I believe they come in pairs), so I ordered 2. My whip is a 2008 Chevy Trailblazer (short wheel-base version and non-bose). It has a 6.5" hole in each of the 4 doors and 2 in-dash mounts that I can stick tweeters in, so I just went with 6.5 components for this round. I've already installed a Pioneer AVH-X4800BS head unit and have an Alpine MRV-F300 amp on my Amazon wish list. I don't plan on adding a sub to the system because I value cargo room over subs. I'm sure this has been covered many times before, but what can I do to get "the best bass" out of my 6.5" door components? I don't know if I can be this picky without a designated sub, but I prefer smooth depth and SQ over brutal SPL. I don't need to rattle any license plates or anything, but as low as I can go without adding a sub is basically what I'm shooting for.
Also, it may be worth mentioning that my wishlisted amp is rated for 50w rms/channel@4ohms where my speakers are rated at 100w rms/channel@4ohms. Just goofing around with home audio stuff, I would think 50w rms would easily max out the excursion on more or less any 6.5" that's not a dedicated sub. Is that correct in the car audio world or should I up my amp to match?
Cheers!
