    Do I need to upgrade my speakers??

    Hey all, just wanted to update on my situation because I think what I dealt with was something somewhat unique. I do believe I fixed my issue for the most part, I think it was the box I was using. The box I used is a bandpass box I got in 2010 and messed around with a Lot! This means I did...

    Do I need to upgrade my speakers??
