Maybe in the car when driving and outside the car when parked? As seen though on today's response on the IC thread, with my hypermiling I wouldn't see much FE benefit from such a setup.

It helps a lot with the bass, but you need to set your crossover fairly high because the DB652's are falling off in their output at a shockingly high frequency.
Is that because the 10" has too much bass for your liking, or because of size? How much clearance is there between the sub and the bottom of the seat?

I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the info, and yes I have noticed that with the DB652s - the base seems less than stock but better quality.
