Default sound system ???????

Hello every one just thought id get get you opinion on system stuff since i dont know too much about what components our out on the marker!!!!!
First off i have a 6channel amp thats like 600wats and im using the stock head unit and hope to keep it, and the ipod aux that i learned and a cheap sub wooffer and new speakers all around from....

I want to go with free air subwoofers on the rear deck maybe 2 12", i heard that infinity makes good ones but when i ask people about it they always tell me that they never delt with free air!!! any one have any imput about it maybe you guys have use them???? do they bump???? what kind of amp should i use.

also after modifying the harness i was left with 4 rca's for the entire system and a friend told me to use a sound processor to separate the bass and controll it. have you guys done this??? and what have you used!!!

I bought a free air on ebay, its a pioneer... Works great, you just have to tune the amp to accommodate for the lack of a box. Some notes don't hit right if you don't tweak the system

I happen to have two 15"subs in my trunk and yes i can hear them very well and feel them too.It doesnt matter how your system setup is, if you have a real system *****s gonna rattle mine rattle but i can barely hear it.

I have a 12" sub, but it is not free air. It is in a box and mounted to the package shelf from underneath. It hits nicely, but does not rattle cars and street signs outside. I wanted a clean system that sounds great inside the car. I am 38, so I can't really be that guy stopped at an intersection rattling everyone else's windows. There are a few low, longer notes that rattle the rear shelf. I'm going to track down the rattles and see if they can be fixed.

I'm running components in the car, 12"sub in a box, and 2 amps in the back. I agree with Link13 in that we don't bump it to rattle, but we can. HAHAH
