What is the goal of the system?

Don't forget wire and electrical upgrades if required (depends on vehicle).

sry I meant hatch or trunk in the second post... se is trunk correct?

what do you define as "really good" bass? As loud as possible, as clear and well defined as possible? Essentially how perfect do you want it to sound, and how loud do you want it to get.
