hey, it's me about the id oem's again haha..

well, on heavy rock songs the distortion from the guitars and low tunings seem to make my speakers sound a bit distorted, but these are songs from my ipod and i even set the gain while listening to the 1khz tone on my ipod not cd.. why do they do this... should i adjust something... my eq is flat and they are crossed at 80 hz at 18db and 3.2khz at 12 db.. so...

Phil, if those are the ID OEM settings, drop the mid-hi down to 2.5kHz, 12db/oct, and you should notice a better difference. When I had mine running active and crossed like that, I had my tweets at 3.2kHz, 12db/oct, and I liked the sound together. I listen to primarily rock and metal, myself.

Will that fix it? Most people say they can run up to 4k though.. they do fine on rap and such.. maybe it's my amp clipping..
