If I listened to radio most of the time, will adding an active sub enhance the audio quality? I have changed the component and coaxial speakers. It indeed improve the audio quality. However, I'm thinking of adding an active sub but I'm not sure if it would be useful in listening to radio. Any comments or suggestions?

...unless you wanna spent on having good front-end control of the sub-frequencies. I really dont think its necessary, most cars/lorries i encounter on the roads with that thump ..thump..thump ...I don't know how enjoyable that is being on the inside .. Your car (any car) is a volumetric space, a subwoofer works in its own volumetric space ..any volume space will have its own acoustics signature whcih also react to certain audio frequency band. So if you can imagine, with a lack of front end control, a badly setup subwoofer will actually distract from a pleasant sounding system ... eh what exactly are you hoping to improve? I see you mentioned components ..or is it coaxial? Our hearing gets attracted to the loudest frequencies -doesnt matter good or bad, just loudest. So if the loudest happens to be fatiguing to the ears or has no definition i é. thump thump thump .. Good tweeters in the A-pillar position with a 5"or 6.5" woofers off a good head unit is plenty nice without needing to speand a bomb and time to correctly align and tune, especially if all u want is radio 90% of the time. ...hope this helps

Thanks for your opinion. It's very informative indeed. I know nuts about audio stuff, just hope to enhance more bass. But as I'm listening to radio most of the time, there is a question on how effective the sub will have on the overall audio quality. Think I shall reconsider my options.

yah ICE is never ending if you are going into it. If you just want to be contented with better music like I do, perhaps you can try to get all the things in first, buy everything liao then do with the installation. If not you will be spending tons of money getting your stuff installed rather than to spend the money on good items.

Most probably I will end the setup with a sub and an amp.. That should satisfy my requirement. Just like other mods, never ending. After some time, there will be an urge to upgrade..
