Ok, Well if someone has covered this before, which most likely has happened please inform me. I have recently spent about $1,300 on a car audio system. I purchased an Alpine cda-117, 2 kicker dc12's with an alpine mono block 500w rms amp. I already have 2 infinity 6X9's in the back. It is a toyota pickup with an extended cab. I listen to Rock Music. I believe the bass guitar and the bass drum double kick, are overlapping in the subs. I prefer a clean sound, and want the bass drum and guitar to be separate. Do I need to purchase some 10's and can I send just those frequency's to them? If so how do I go about sending just the bass drum or guitar to a particular set of speakers. Either the bass drum kick or the bass guitar or do they overlap ? Which brings me to another question. I have no problem operating a graphic equalizer, which the Alpine has a 7 band graphic EQ. I cannot solve my problem in the graphic EQ. If someone could tell me what frequency and bands on the parametric EQ I can quiet the bass guitar down, that would be beneficial. I've always been able to listen and use a graphic EQ, but the total control of the 5 band parametric EQ has me somewhat puzzled. I play with it, then the music sounds over-processed, but yet the Bass guitar and double bass kicks are still rumbling together. Anyways The speaker box is wired for 2 Ohms, hence there is only one speaker input. This is relatively new to me as the last time I had a decent stereo was about 10 years ago. I just need some advice. I'm to the point I want to take the whole system back. BestBuy's customer service blows. No one listens to rock anymore anyways.. Rap is so much easier to tune, so here to being synthetic
