Decent bass without a sub?
|
Nicolai Unregistered guest | I'm thinking of replacing the stock speakers in my '98 Honda Civic sedan with the Infinity 63.7i and 693.7i. I'm also upgrading the head unit. I'd like to avoid getting a subwoofer. Will I have adequate bass without one? How will the bass compare to the stock speakers? (The stock speakers have almost enough bass, so I don't think I need tons of it.) |
