What about the new Pioneer TS-D1730C? Good budget speakers? I can't find any reviews from someone that has actually heard them.

What is your take on Powered subwoofers ?

I have a pickup truck with an extended cab so I don't have a lot of room for most box enclosures . Have a great system and was on the Rockford Fosgate PS30012 for five years before it blew out on me this week.

Had three of the infinity basslink ones but they blow out fast and have the Bazooka 12' but it's too big for my new truck. Probably gonna save it for the trunk for my next car.

Anyway, I was :patrice: @ the JBL '12 inch they got but was wondering if I have better options out there instead of a powered sub setup. I listen to a variety of music do I don't need the bass thumping for everything I play.

Powered subs are only supposed to be used if you don't have a lot of space and in your whip for a traditional box

I've got an 06 Acura RSX and I'm looking to install a system in it but don't have the money to do it all at once. Ultimately I want to put a 12" Alpine Type-R sub in the trunk but I'm starting with the head unit and speakers first.

I'm looking at a Kenwood KDC-BT562U head unit
Alpine SPR-60C component 6.5" speakers with tweeters (220 watts RMS total)

My question is about the amp. Is there an amp that can power the speakers on one channel and also provide 500w RMS to the sub on another channel? Am I better off just buying 2 separate mono-amps?

I'd prefer one amp to provide enough power for both so I can at least have a little bit of trunk space.
