yeah, but if you crank it the components would likely tap out (apparent distortion and lack sq) a lot quicker than the subs.. which is why i wonder how loud he listens to his music. ive heard plenty of systems with only subs added, 9/10 times the subs drown the components to death

edit: after reading your post, im happy with what im reading. i have a set of components/amp, 2 12" subs in box/amp + headunit with all wiring etc. that was only used for a few months from my previous car.. really not sure what to do with it b/c ill be taking a big hit by selling them off. seems like thats my only choice though, definitely don't want to put the 2 12's in my 135 and the components won't fit. additionally, also don't want to install a headunit into this car... sell them off, pickup used equipment to fit the 1er i suppose :T
