[QUOTE="Lukestrat1984, post: 8790218, member: 685961"] Hi, I've recently installed new speakers (vibe slick 6" components in front, vibe slick 6" coaxial in back) and a vibe powerbox 4 channel micro amp using my factory head unit and sound is good but very low frequencies like bass drums cause the speakers to clip out and pop, adjusting EQ doesn't really improve it but mid range bass is good so bass guitars etc sounds strong but I want to install a subwoofer to improve it more, I don't have rca output on the stereo or amp so I want to use a sub with high level input tapped into the speakers. 1. Am I best tapping into the front or rear speakers? Does it matter? 2. Should I then use the high pass filter on the amp? There is 1 for the front 2 channels and 1 for the rear 2 channels? 3. Am I better using a high to low level converter with rca outputs from the speakers? And keep the rest of the existing setup as it is? Welcome any recommendations for underseat subs too? It's in an suv but I need the boot space so having to go compact. Budget is tight but don't mind looking for deals on ebay etc Thanks [/QUOTE]
