installed a set of these recently. Doors have been sound deadened,ccf, along with a layer of mlv. Speakers are in the doors of a 1996 f150. in these particular doors, the speakers mount up high in the corner very close to the dash. Tweeters mounted up high in pillars. Powering them with a Powerbass atm 440.2 amp which is rated at 100x2@ 4 ohms and 200x2 @ 2ohms. amp has a 30 amp fuse. 0 guage running from battery which divides into dual 4 gauge ran to the amps. Sky high wire all around. 14 gauge wire from amps,to passives to mids,tweets. Stock electrical for now but voltage hand doesn't even drop at all.
I guess my question is, do these comps require some break in time? The midbass is certainly there but ......they are not loud at all to me. Gains set by ear which I can max my volume out to 31 on the knob which 35 is highest it goes. H/u is Kenwood kdc-x300.
I have no problem with how they sound, just how loud they get. I have my amp set to full pass and have the mids crossed over on the h/u to 80hz
