buying a new sub.

In my firebird, i have 2 stock 6.5in subs that came with my monsoon system. whenever the subs hit a low note when i listen to rap, they sound like they are bottoming out. so im looking to replace those subs. i found some Rockford Fosgate HE RFP4406 6.5 subs and Elemental Design subs. the RockFord's say they respond to 42-800Hz. the Elemental Designs repond to 20-1000Hz. Would it be better to get the Elemental Design subs?

Re: buying a new sub.

Hell, I'd go with the Elemental Design. Human hearing is 20-20,000 HZ. I'm sure your speakers can do up to 20,000 HZ. You'd like your lows to go all the way down to 20 HZ, right? Then that'd be the way to go.
