[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 4758420, member: 584454"] You don't even have any crossover points setup between your sub and your high/mid? You need to. You can't jack anything up if you set your HU to a crossover point. You need to tinker with the Db slope of the crossover point, too. Usually you'll want to select 12Db or 18Db. This is the slope on how quickly the Hz below (or above with the sub) rolls off. Crossovers don't just cut off the frequency at the point the crossover is set at. This is meant to help blend the different speakers at the cross point. If you set the crossover of your mid/highs to probably 100Hz at 18Db slope you'll be able to get more 'mid' out of your mids. This is because you'll be able to give them more power before they distort and you could tweak the mid Hz on the EQ higher if necessary. [/QUOTE]
