That system is OK, it'll do fine, but im sure for the money we could help you set up a better system.

What is your budget?

I already have this system installed in my car. I just finally got it all tuned close to perfect and have room to upgrade my rear speakers. Just looking for opinions on the different pieces I have and some recommendations on a possible upgraded rear end.

do some squats, deadlifts, or just go for a jog.

That was pretty funny:naughty:

And to the thread starter...glad to see you are getting into car audio!

Nice setup for your first system. I don't know anything about that head unit though. Remember though that your head unit is your command central to build off of. You would be amazed on the difference one can make. Like I said looks good for your first. Enjoy!

Good first system. Nothing that great, but gets the job done.

What should I be running my front and rear speakers at. Right now they are both turned to High-pass mode. I find if i put them on Low-pass I cant turn the gains as high because that much midbass seems to distort the sound. Any opinions?

Low-pass is for subs. If it's a 1/2 decent crossover slope you should've been able to tell as soon as you switched //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Set them to high-pass, x'ed at 60~80hz, per taste, then set your subwoofer to low-pass @ same x-over as your front speakers.

Eg.; if you highpass your speakers @ 80hz, lowpass your sub @ 80hz.

And as far as distortion goes, amplifier and speaker distortion are 2 different things. The first thing you should do is use an oscilloscope to set the gains correctly, or a multimeter if you're 100%, and i stress 100% sure your amps aren't overrated, and then play with your crossovers and equilizer to eliminate speaker distortion, same goes with you subwoofer amplifier, just because you can't hear clipping thru a sub doesn't mean it's not destroying your p3.
