[QUOTE="BEAVER.989, post: 4630756, member: 567334"] I don't think deadening is going to help a whole bunch in terms of loudness, but will definately tighten the response an increase the sq a bunch. It should be done very soon, but... I'd start by double checking and triple checking all of your wiring. It sounds a lot like cancellation due to a phase issue to me. One of your mids may be wired backwards. Next I'd set everything to flat at the head unit with the loudness off and re-set the gains at this level. You should now be able to comfortably cross at 80hz/12db since you're not boosting the response anywhere. FWIW, I'd attenuate the tweeters as much as the passive x-over adjustment allows. Now, with all of this done, you can shape the response the way you want. It's a good idea to cut bloated frequencies instead of boosting weaker ones. FWIW, I boost nothing and only make a couple of small cuts on my eq. With tweeters in the a-pillars there is a good chance you will need to reverse their polarity to make everything sound good. Don't be afraid to experiment with this. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
