How so?
Correct me if I am wrong. I have the LX so I would have to run the wiring for my components as well as mount the tweeters. I also found out in the forum that the tweeters that come with Infinity Components do not mount nicely in the stock location.

A free air sub vs sealed only differs in its efficiency. The air in a box acts like a spring. When the sub moves outward, the air is under tension. This creates a low pressure vacuum that pulls the sub back to equilibrium. The sub then goes back to that equilibrium point but moves past it into the box. This causes compression of the air. The air pushes the sub back out. All this does is make the sub do its work more efficiently as the air helps the sub move in and out versus with free air that does not happen. Free air rolls off faster then a sealed box design causing less bass at low frequencies however it is still a smooth curve just like a sealed box. As a result a sealed box running the sub at say 75Wrms should be equivalent to the same sub in free air running 150Wrms (or something very close).

Comps are still midbass resulting in peak bass closer to 200Hz. With a dedicated sub, frequencies down to 50Hz or lower should be achievable.

I do not want to swap out the head unit.
Thanks for your 2 cents. I am thinking about the components install now. Hmm, decisions, decisions.
