Your amp crossovers aren't set properly. Check that your mids/highs amp has it's HPF set correctly.

Yes you will need some kind of crossover to filter out the bass from your speakers. Does your amp have a built-in HPF (high pass filter) on it? Sometimes you can do it off your headunit.

yes it has hpf on it but that's all set is when I turn the bass up in my headunit so I would have to get a crossover I guess lol

alos, which set of rca's from the h/u are you using for the highs? front or rear? What h/u do you have?

One more question,what frequency is the amp set at? as far as hz

When you say turn the bass up, do you mean the subwoofer output or just the EQ bass setting? Does your HPF have an adjustable crossover you can play around with? If so, move it up until you hear no bass from the speakers or to a place where it sounds more balanced to you. Make sure to turn off the sub output while you're doing this so you can hear the speakers clearly.

Yes

Yes

It's not a yes or no question.. Make sure it's on HPF and move the crossover higher until the bass starts to disappear.
