Does anyone think this is a worthwile idea feel to tell me if I'm an idiot if you want ok as I mention in my other thread here I'm starting to think of what I can do next I currently have 1 PG Ti12d and am very happy with it I was thinking of getting a pair of 8inch drivers and bandpassing them to have play higher freq range then my PG while setting its LPF lower does this sound worthwhile and would it sound good or is it a stupid idea thanx.

Nah its stupid. Because you need a seperate amp for the 8inch woofers, and u'd have to purchase the 8inch woofers as well. Well over $1000, worth of extra money for little improvement.
If you sold your splits for $500, giving you $1500, imagine getting a set of $1500 splits and run it from your current amp. The difference would be HUGE.
Could get Morel Elate, Dyn or Boston Pro 3ways for that sort of money.

Yeah I know amps not a problem got one sitting around doing nothing and only looking at getting some 2nd hand woofers for $200 theres always something like that for sale on here so thats what got me thinking about it just looking to do something different really has anyone done this and did it make a noticable improvement?

What frequency range do you want them to cover? Are they going to be mounted at the front of your car?

No idea yet not sure where I'm going to mount them either this is just me looking at some different options for the future. Most likely postions to mount them would be upside down in the rear parcel tray positions (VS Commodore)
