[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4101969, member: 549629"] Too much bass is a good thing. Its easy to adjust it down. Have you tried simply turning your gains down? This would give you less bass, and less distortion. A pair of larger speakers working to half their potential will sound better and last longer than one smaller speaker working to its full potential (generally speaking). So unless you need the space back, I say keep them. If adjusting the gains down doesn't give you quite the effect you are looking for, buy an EQ with decent subwoofer adjustments. If you dont like the 'tone' of your sub system, that can be EQ'd. And, that tone is more likely a function of your enclosure size/type/alignment than it is the cone diameter of the subs you are using. [/QUOTE]
