[URL="http://www.realmofexcursion.com/downloads.htm"]Realm of Excursion[/URL] next, run the mid wide open on the low end (low pass them only) crank it up a little to see what they do/how they sound. listen for anything funky. i use Bass Mekanik for testing, but be careful. BM is NO joke. you can fry/rip ***** easy if all sounds good, raise the xover point for the high pass to like 200hz, turn up your stereo as loud as you plan to listen to it or until the mids sounds like azz, then start dropping the hp. somewhere around 80hz should be about right its all about balance. you might have to raise the xover point if you like to run them real loud, or you might be able to use a lower xover point if you dont crank real loud use the eq to fine tune im using Oz Elite 6.5"s off a 75x2 amp. suckers make my pant legs flap also, if your doors are sealed up tight, you might have to unseal it a tiny bit (one little spot maybe), to let it breath. that could help or hurt. just got to experiment [/QUOTE]
