[QUOTE="mikey7182, post: 3381663, member: 580809"] That means you're sending everything 63Hz and up to your tweeters. If you are using your xovers that came with your components, you don't need to use the crossover that way in the headunit. You need to switch the thing on the bottom that changes it to 4.2 so that your xover on the headunit screen will display Front/Rear/Sub. The way you have it set now is designed to run your components actively, so that you can decide what frequencies to send to your sub (Low), what frequencies to send to your Mid (Mid), and what frequencies to send to your Tweeter (High). If you are using the xover that came with your components, the Mid and Tweeter frequencies are already determined, which is why you'd need to switch the button on the bottom of the deck so that you can just do Front/Rear/Sub instead. If you are NOT using the xovers that came with the components, leave it the way it is, but change the Low to 63Hz or 80Hz (play around with it). This will also pick what frequency the Midbass will cross over. Then set the "Mid" setting to around 2.5Khz, and the High to around the same, and play around with it to see what sounds good. The way you have it now, you have everything over 63Hz going to your tweeter. Not good. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
