[QUOTE="defiance, post: 297682, member: 549442"] When I put it in temporarily (still a lot of work to do before I'm ready to lock it down) earlier, I was very impressed! Problem is, though, I was just doing sine-wave music (bass stuff). I started putting music to it today, though, and started noticing that it seemed to lose a lot of extreme low bass & boost severely (to the point of distorting quite a bit) at very high bass ... Very disturbing... Then I realized Right now I'm waiting on my amp for my highs to come in, so I'm still running stock speakers off of my head unit. The unit has built-in high pass crossovers, so it actually sounds ok........ Therein, however, lies the problem; I ran the RCA's off my front output, which is HP crossed over! Thus, I was running 85hz high pass at 12db/oct, and 80hz low pass (from my 30-band) at 24db/oct! LOL...
