Default Help with possible upgrade

Hey everyone had a question for everyone with custom stereo setups. I currently have a 7" Clarion DVD player, a pair of edi6500 component speakers powered by a 9.4 and a pair of eu700's in a stealth box designed by OneLiterPeter and powered by a 9.2x. I currently enjoy my system as is but could use alittle more bass for shows, or hanging out or just for those days when u want to show someone up. Well if I do upgrade I will stick with the Elemental Designs team because so far there products are awesome. B4 this system I had 2 volfenhag 12" subs powered by an audiobahn amp. Well I might be interested in getting a 160v.2 powered by the 9.1. Just trying to figure out what ya'll think I should do should I leave my system as is, upgrade to 4 eu-700's or just upgrade to a 160v.2. Thanks and any info or comments would be greatly appreciated

on the stealth box, are you able to take it out? I was thinking of buying a 160v.2 or the 130v.2 sub from eD and building a box and being able to take out the stealth and put in this one for when you want bass? Then just put the stealth back in? like a switch in and out of the subs?

stealth box can come out with the removal of two screws and that is actually what i was thinking of doing. going to a show or you just want to chill then go with the 160v.2 or if you are traveling throw in the stealth eu700s. Becuz I know for me when I am in my hometown there is no need for the extra cargo space thats what the passenger seats are for or the back seats so I would only really need them like say when I decide to take trips to like GA, AL, TN, or NC.

Adding another "stealth box" with 2 more eu700 should give you 6 more dB output. Only you can say if that'd be enough bass for you.

Dang Chris I was thinking 160v.2 + 9.1 would be pretty loud I could just imagine what that 190v.2 would do

now maybe if i got sometype of a freebie (jk) or a hook up with the price of the 190v.2 I would definately do it. Hell I would love to have a crazy number of subs like say 32 eu700s in my tc only if I didn't have to pay for it and all the work someone else did but that will never happen.

Hey Chris how much would that setupp cost me? Also anyone running this setup currently that you know of? It might just be better to get more of the eu700's becuz they are only 50 bucks apiece still right?

Sorry, busy in the office w/ the whole making a new web site.

Nine.1 + 19Ov.2 = $510 through package builder, which is the best the pricing on that gets.

so chris if I used my 9.2x to power the 190v.2 does that mean it would be real loud seeing as you had the 9.2 and said it was loud... maybe I should just say f it and get the 190v.2 and 9.1
