[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 8677607, member: 549629"] What exactly do you have for front speakers and where are they located? When I read "6 JL audio components" I thought you meant 6 component sets too. What you are looking for is more midbass, which you already know. But, midbass is locatable, meaning the frequencies are high enough that your ears can tell which direction they are coming from. In a true front sound stage, all frequencies come from the front speakers other than subbass. So when a car audio guys sees someone say they want an SQL build, they tend to think of a set of tweeters, midrange and dedicated midbass in the front sound stage. So you have to decide if a realistic soundstage is important to you, at least in the midbass range. if it is, figure out how to put some dedicated midbass in your front doors. If its not, run some midbass drivers from your rear doors or deck, or run a subwoofer system that can bolster the midbass region. Mixing sub sizes *can* work, but its always a pita to do right, and rarely offers big benefits over a simpler single sized sub system. Your sub(s) realistically shouldn't run more than 2 or 3 octaves, there is no realistic reason why a single sub system shouldn't be able to cover that bandwidth of frequencies. Do yourself a favor, keep your subwoofer setup as simple as possible. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
