Got My Z6's installed....Pretty Dissapointed

[Starky 10+ year member]

I can tell that they're a Bit clearer than my Old Boston Pro 6.4's but, I dont think they justify the few hundred $ more than the 6.4's...and They dont seem to get as loud. Im pretty let down...am I insane to think this?

Not surprised. I dont think they justify the price either.

regardless of price...to say theyre not loud though......everyone says if you are just looking to get loud to get the Pros alone...im hearing 300 + watts to the pros and watch yourself go def......?/?

Well I think my 6.4's were a bit louder...I have like 300+ watts going to them...And they're mounted in my KickPods

Well fellas, how much power are you giving them? They suggest between 200 and 500 watts RMS per speaker. 80 watts to them isn't going to cut it. I am giving mine sufficient power on an RF 551x and they get extremely loud and stay clear.

Where do you have them mounted? Doors? Kicks?

Remember 90% install, 10% equipment.

Regardless of that, they should be performing very well. Did you check the settings on the crossover? There's some settings that you may want to play around with on there, and check your EQ'ing. What sounds the best for my set-up is to have my Alpine HU set on flat EQ with MX on.

The setting on the passive crossover? I didnt see any settings....I've been messing around with my Crossover on my HU Alot, in tons of different positions.

If you open up the cover on the passive crossover with an alan wrench, there's there's 2 different SQ settings (SQ1 and SQ2), a "normal" and "bi-amp" setting, and a tweeter attenuator (0, -2dB, -4dB).
Here's a shot from my .pdf manual:
