[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8571726, member: 650438"] to be honest, Big red flag is your head unit/processing. You have no capability to tune to make things sound good with that head unit along with it having low quality convertors which is pretty crappy sound from the start. 2nd is you using passive crossovers. Run fully active and get more power. If you can, do a 3 way setup so one driver can fully dedicate itself to midbass 50hz to 300hz while the other driver is focused on clean midrange. Your box is tuned rather low so of course there is going to be an extreme gap in the sound spectrum with how things are setup. If you have a 2nd icon coming and want a wider range of music, do 4.5 cubes tuned to 33-35hz instead. Also if you listen to re-bassed music, there's no midbass in it. A lot of the actual music as in highs, midrange and midbass are sacrificed in order to keep the recording clean. If you plan on keeping it 2 way. I'd still go active and bridge a 4 channel to the midbass alone and bridge the other amp you have for the tweeters. Power makes a huge difference. Passive components might already have a built in high pass filter crossed high with a light slope just to protect the speakers as well so thats also another reason to go active along with the passive components limiting power to the drivers along with having crossover points not fitting your vehicle acoustics.
