Adapting Kicker PowerStage 4.2" / 8" To Work With Base Radio?

With the sealled sub, the sound pretty much stay in the truck. I've turned mine up pretty loud and stood outside the truck with the windows up, and was barely able to hear the sub. I could hear the door speakers more and they're all dynamatted on both sides. I was driving down the street the other day with a rap tune on and the windows down to see if anyone would notice. I was kinda dissapointed because no one did.

That's a very good deal too. I was talking to the vendor (Dealership) on why they are able to sell it for so cheap. He mentioned dealerships will buy them in bulk for aftermarket options for customers. It gives them wiggle room on dropping the price if a customer is on the fence about buying and both parties benefit. Obviously they get them a lot cheaper as a wholesale value than us as a consumer.
What are your thoughts on how it sounds? The lack of bass/treble on the stock speakers just has me shaking my head. I want something that can hit inside the car, not so much that it drowns the vocals. I'm done with the whole hear me from 1/2 mile away setups.

I'm pretty pleased with it. A lot of the time I can feel it more than here it. On songs with a base riff, the is a good transition from the sub to the door speakers. All the notes ar the same volume.

I will say this kicker system is very nice. I can hear the highes very clear without the bass drowning it out. Like you. I use to have the system you could hear mile away. I had 4 15in in ranger ext cab. I would hit 158.6db. Now I just upgraded the amp on the kicker setup for 2 reason. Better control over bass and make it bass alot harder when I want it to.
What kind of amp are you running now, watts? Is it on the stock 10" that comes with the kit?
