Anything more to report on this? Is it worthwhile?

Sorry, I got sidetracked with northstar engine issues and a bunch of work priorities right now. Hope to get to it soon.

I also have picked up two of the Kicker amps. I was going to do the Tang sub but they are now $90 a piece from Parts Express. Has anyone tried Rodney's new sub replacement?
What would be the best way to adjust the level of the amp?

WhataboutBob - you must have gotten the last of those Kickers, because they are out of stock now.

I have both. I must admit that the Tang is far superior to Rodney's. However, I think Rodney's is much better than stock. Even though the price of the Tang has risen to $90+ I think it is still worth it.

I just ordered a Tang Band sub from EMSpowered.com - seems they still list the W5-1138SM 5-1/4" sub at the old price of $40.95. Sure, the shipping was about $14, but even at $55 out-the-door, it's hard to beat compared to $90 everywhere else... Here's the link - http://www.emspowered.com/s...ndex&cPath=157_59_86

I have Rodney's running right now with a Dual (lame) amp. After only having 2 front speakers to now having a sub in the mix, its a huge improvement. Sound quality is pretty good even at high volume, but I don't really crank the bass either. The gain on the amp is all the way down and the headunit has barely any bass boost in play. For the price, it was worth it. However, at just a little more, the Tang is sounding like the way to go.

Hello everyone, in your experience can the Tang-Band/ stock replica woofer set up as described in this thread be powered directly and simply from the head unit?
I understand it needs minimal wattage to fill out the sound. I'm trying to avoid adding another amp and its wiring (this is my first sub install.)
The HU is a higher end Kenwood, with 6 outputs (2 front, 2 back, 2 for sub) and built in sub preamp controls (cuttoffs, etc.)
It's 4 x 50 W, with a built in "Sub Woofer Reference Control Interface."
Looks like I'd have to bridge the subwoofer out channels into one for the mono sub, correct?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
