[QUOTE="Smoothio, post: 8679088, member: 677429"] Hey thank you so much for your response! It really helped sorry I took so long to get back I work a lot of overtime and I've just been tweaking around with a lot of different stuff trying to do it right. Okay, so I bought a Kicker CXA 360.4 - 360w rms rated, (actually on the certificate inside it says 428w rms certified on a little diploma, but I'm new to this) 4 channel amp to run my speakers. My front 6.5 " 4 ohm speakers have a rating of 60w rms, and rear deck 6x9" 4 ohm speakers have a rating of 70w rms so this amp should be able to run them at 65Wx4 rms. Am I right? I'm not sure how the gain from the amp, tied in with the volume from the head unit + all of the other settings, actually send wattage to the speakers though. Like I don't know the exact wattage that is going to the speakers when I change anything. I think I saw a guy using a multi-meter and just testing the speakers and setting the gain at the correct numbers on a youtube video that I was watching. My box has 2 ports and its "slanted" on the back. I'm not sure if either of those facts affect anything. I want to measure it but I cant find my tape measure. I'll find it or go buy one today and figure out how to measure it correctly. You were right about 60hz being to low it sounds a lot better in general when I raised it up to 80hz. Actually it sounds pretty good at 100hz too. I have a question though, is it okay to set the hpf on the front and deck speakers at like 120 hz and set the lpf on the sub at like 80hz?
