[QUOTE="Frankensuby, post: 2539226, member: 569869"] Bad signal? I guess 2.2v pre-outs aren't doing me any favors haha. And no, my doors are not deadened yet, but I ran a spacer and sealed with modeling clay for density and sound. Admittedly it helped. The reason why I like the Polks much more than the R's is i demoed them side by side at tweeter, off of my current deck with desired settings, and through the same speaker amp at 75 RMS (don't know what the gain was, but that isn't the point) and the Polks just blew the R's away. Unfortunately I demoed after I bought the R's haha. Anyways, I tuned several times for audible distortion, and when I tuned it down, the speakers did better, BUT, they were much more quieter. I'm comparing the sound to my GF's system which is a Power Acoustik at 35 RMS x 4, and it sounds as loud before distortion as the audiobahn without the distortion. This is all at flatline EQ's and BB off, everything. I followed JL's tutorial for tuning. [/QUOTE]
