So you added a sub (with amplifier), and kept the 6x9s on the back shelf? I’m not an audiophile … but my impression is that the sound in the CT5-V Blackwing is “thin”. It sounds ok, but it doesn’t seem to have any depth or presence. Even with talk radio! Any idea of what I’m picking up on? I...

Reading and watching reviews of the 5BW, the occasional reviewer would mention the “stiff clutch” due to the “big clutch spring” (cut to picture), and a few would complain of “my sore left leg” after a day of driving. Now owning a 5BW, I can ask: what were they talking about? It’s just like...
