True, but - the cost of the subs and enclosure are much greater than that of just building something or putting them into the rear deck.

10 year old subs?

I doubt they would last through a day of listening!

You'd be surprised. For 10's, they bump pretty decently in my cavalier

compared to what?

But really, my dad has always had the best of the best in audio, throughout my whole life he's had a pretty up-to-date and pumping system in any of his vehicles. I believe, for my first subs, free, and a cavalier - they sound pretty good for being 10's.

Granted, they aren't competition standard, but....for free, they work wonderfully.

I bet my gain setting could even be improved and I'd get a bit more thump out of them.

mkay - I'll still recomend a new set of subs, in the near future

really, no matter what sub, what quality, etc, 10 year old subs that have been in a vehicle aren't going to be NEAR what a new pair of subs would be in terms of sound, quality, and durability. Dare I say even near a cheap pair of subs.

The automotive environment is harsh on speakers, and 10 years ago they simply didn't have the technology they do now in speakers.

BTW- kicker has never been the best of the best in audio, it's decent, by all means, but deffinately not the best of the best, not even 10 years ago, not trying to deflate your ideas here, just trying to tell you the reality, that's all

Ok....read more carefully next time

My dad had the "best of the best" in audio.

My step-dad gave me the subs.

mkay - so then why mention that your dad has the best of the best?

dad, step-dad, some people might not make the distinction there

I call my grandmother mom because she's all I've known as a mom...
