[QUOTE="Jeffy, post: 8498765, member: 669816"] Great insight, I appreciate your reply. The reason I have so many speakers, is because quite simply that's how many came in the car. It's an SUV (4Runner) with front door 6x9s, rear passenger 6.75's, and tailgate 6.75's, plus the little 3.5's in the dash to help bring the sound stage up. Yes, I know that's an ***load of speakers, but hey I've got holes cut already so why not fill them? I like my music loud on the freeway and all those speakers sound great. The dual PDX-V9s are more than powerful enough to handle it, and they've got great signal processing built in so I felt that was a good choice to pair it all with. You say I have too many speakers, I'm curious why you say this. If tuned properly, they should all sound great together? I'm here to learn so feel free to blast me on this. You are correct, my 3.5's were not on a dedicated crossover. They do have a crossover built in however. Like I said, I'm no expert, but I assumed this built-in crossover would be more than capable of handling the output from my HU. Please correct me here, clearly something went wrong since they are now blown. My W6 is crossed at 200hz I believe. My mid bass and bass has always sounded great so I never messed with that much after the initial tuning. I agree with what you've said, I'm nowhere near going as advanced as fully active with all the extra glitter that comes with it, so no offense is taken. I was happy with my system how it was.
