Hdc3 not hitting hard ?

why would you set your HPF at 125 or 150 if your LPF is set at 80? You'd be missing out on the frequencies between 81 and 124 (not really, since it's a slope, but you get what I mean). As a rule of thumb, you should start with hpf and lpf at 80. Drop to 63 for both if your door speakers are able to handle those frequencies (most dont do it well). But you should never have that big (or any, for that matter) of a gap between your hpf and lpf settings.
true but i never really have liked the sound of door speakers crossed lower. the few set ups i have tuned always soumd better crossed around 125. i probly just havent dealt with high enough quality speakers that sound really good crossed that low.

 
I will try this : Hu hpf 125 and lpf 80 and on my amp same thing ?
i usually set the lpf filter very little above what the headunit is at. so say its at 80 on headunit set it around 85. thats how i do it though. everything is variables. just play around with it for a while.

 
Sounds like amp and hu are set wrong and on a 70 amp alt you should be dropping at idle. Turn your gain up a little more and play with your radio settings.

Also double check how your sub is wired up. Could be done wrong also.

 
As mentioned try turning up gain higher as that amp should be killing your voltage at full tilt with a 70a alt. I run an AQ1200 in the wife's mini van and she gets dimming at full tilt with a 130a alt..

If you have a LPF for the sub preouts on the HU set it to 80 or 100Hz and turn the amp LPF all the way up...

Did you just skip my post or what? If your not getting air movement from the port, that's a power issue that has NOTHING to do with a crossover. Your probably tuned near 35hz, your crossover setting are only messing with things around 80hz.. Download a tone and try what I said. For crossover's it really doesn't matter which one you choose. I prefer the HU for a LPF, that way I can change it on the fly although keeping the HPF at the amp is ok for the opposite reason. THE HPF protects the sub in some case and you don't want that to be turned off accidentally. If you tuned at 35ish, try 80hz and 25hz to start. From there you can play with it and see how high it can go. Generally speaking it's best to let the sub play as high as it can as a sub will play 125hz cleaner and louder than any midbass your going to have in a a door.
