Highs coming through subs?

[michaelg589 10+ year member]

So ive just installed a dual 10" JL W3 setup in my car. I had to do it the slightly "ghetto" way, by splicing into rear speaker wires. But this is causing a lot of higher range stuff to come through the Subwoofers. It sounds good inside the car, but pop the trunk and its just a bunch of noise. I'm using a Precision Power PC2100 amp and a Scolsche LOC spliced into the rear speaker wires. Should my amp be able to tune out these unwanted frequencies?

And before anyone says it, I cannot use an aftermarket head unit in my car.

Thanks for any input!

I cannot install one in my car because there isnt one made for it. My headunit and HVAC controls are all one big unit. A think a compnay was working on one, but it never made it into production. it wouldve cost about $2500 anyway.

My amp has a bunch of different buttons to push. Its a little confusing. I think theres a button to simply turn the Low pass filter on/off. But the sound didnt seem to change. I cant adjust the actual frequency level i dont think.

you can get a rockford 3sixty or a JL clean sweep to name a few //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

just tap into your factory wires and the processor will help

Heres what the push buttons look like on the amp. Camera couldnt pick up the fine print.

interesting. I've really never known anyhting other than

Headunit --> RCAs---> Amp---> Speaker/Subwoofer in an aftermarket setup. Whenever I thought of using factory wiring with new amps and speakers, i always frowned upon it. (even though i did it now). Didnt know things like this were available.
