Like what everyone else stated, There's probably not going to be much difference in midbass. What is probably more important is properly sealing them to the door panel with sealing tape http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?webpage_id=3&CATID=46&ObjectGroup_ID=818 A layer of dynamat would ...

I'm assuming that it pulls 125-150amps (@ 50% efficiency) at moderate listening levels - that's still a lot more then my alternator can handle. Luckily its not o...

Thanks, but the rsd probably won't fit, I'm pretty sure its deeper then the ed sub.

I got the sub to save room, its a pretty decent sub for $70

^^^ Believe it or not, it sounds pretty much the same (1 ti vs 1 ED sq10) - the cool thing with the ED sub that its only 3" deep.
