[QUOTE="saxguy9345, post: 7764819, member: 642051"] I have had a friend tell me that my Polk db's are holding back my cabin sound. I listen to a lot of Burial and (cough REAL) dubstep, and I do need to say my midbass is lacking, anything my sub doesn't pick up (around 100hz-250hz) is lacking IMO. I don't have a dmm or anything to measure so those figures are completely made up, but you can fill in from context. The xover on the amp is set to +100hz to front door 6 3/4" and +60hz to the rear deck 6x9's. Speaking of mid bass, the Alpine M250 has a Bass EQ switch for channel 3+4 (gains 12db at 50hz) made for a sub, and I have hesitated turning it on to see how it sounds but what harm could it do? I don't think it cuts high pass so I'd still be getting full range to the (coaxil) 6x9's, but I dunno. The gains on the Alpine M250 are set pretty low, I was shocked to see the front channels are actually just below NOM and the 6x9's are just under .5v (looks like .2v, closer to NOM). Can I squeeze more out of these db's? The EQ on the Kenwood is maybe +1 mid +2 treb for the best SQ I can hear. I literally hurt my ears before I hear distortion though so I haven't touched it, but it sure isn't the midbass putting out the hurt lol [/QUOTE]
