[QUOTE="Frraksurred, post: 82745, member: 544871"] It could be an assortment of problems. First the x over: what cut off point did you chose for your low pass? 80hz? If you set it lower then 80hz (like 50hz) you might want to set it up to 80hz. If it's already at 80hz, try bumping it up to 100hz (if your amp gives you that option) although few people set it this high becuz you will get some vocals thru your subs (won't hurt them, but it sounds different). Try each setting and see which one you like best and if it affects when your bass hits. Also if you don't already have a cap for your amps I'd definately get one. Two amps that big will need at least a 1 farad cap (especially for the subs). That may help your power problem as well. If you already have a cap then I'd be suspecting your electrical system. Either you need to upgrade your power and ground wires or you may need to upgrade you alt. However, the probelm with your H/U may be in the unit itself. Unfortunately you'll have to figure that out thru trial and error (unless some wiser and more astute patron of this Forum knows something I don't). Having said all that, if you have the money to blow, by all means buy the Alpine! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
