IMO the best to just add a sub would be the Audio Control LC2i. I know some people push the ReQ, but as i worked for the company that designed it and owns it, i would still not use it. It has now been disco'd the failure rate was just to high.
The best no holds barred would be IMO would be the Rockford 3sixty, it does everything, not to mention it was just awarded the patent for this type of thing. The Bit one, MS-8, etc are currently infringing on a patented piece…

The req is good but as I mentioned in the write up there are muh better and higher end options out there. I have used the MS8 in two installs and they word very well. the new alpine imprint should be out soon and that looks promising as well.

Man how did i over look this question!!!

The MS8 hands down is probably one of the best out there. It does so much to make your system sound it's best and it will be the one I will be using in my setup, even though I am going with a new head unit.
