Box tuning...

Indeed, you have to match your settings so that the mids aren't set to play 80 hz and up and the sub plays 50 hz and below. Then you will miss something.

even that would be alright... its only a small section missing, but 50Hz low pass on the sub, and 600Hz high pass on the fronts... not really going to work

depends on who you ask, some say anything about 45Hz is "midbass", but I think the sub isn't catching that higher note when it can. its probably around 60Hz or something and the rolloff from your crossover is making it virtually non-existent to the sub. The midbass should be able to handle it too, but crossed as high as you are its not even close to hearing it. BTW, you should be missing ALOT of notes with how you're crossed

That's for sure....how long have the settings been like this?

if you have old, shitty, or stock front speakers, then they wont do any bass anyway, so, if you're adding a sub just to get a bit of low end, you may as well set the sub crossover point fairly high, even if it can't play higher notes properly, its better than having crappy front speakers trying to play 40Hz.
