[QUOTE="mikey7182, post: 3949809, member: 580809"] That's weird...I checked their site and it says the same thing. But in the owner's manual, on pg. 69, it lists the slopes as being -12db/oct for the HPF and -18db/oct for the LPF. Bummer. Maybe you can get Pioneer to ship you a 7900 for falsely advertising the 6900 [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Other than that, amps are your only option besides buying some sort of active xover to run inline between your deck and amp. But by the time you spend that money, you could have sold your 6900 and bought a 7900, 9800, or Alpine 9887. I'd see if Pioneer is willing to do anything for you... As far as your sound goes, it is all subjective, because it's really about what you like, but looking at your HPF/LPF, it seems you might have a small hole in your sound, because the sub is crossing over at a steeper slope than the mids, and at a lower frequency. I'd bump it up to 80Hz@-18db/oct and see if that helps your sub stage any. Also, are your doors deadened? If not that will help with the midbass response from your mids so your sub isn't trying to do all the work. You've also got your EQ at +4@125Hz, which is gonna bring a lot of sound out of your mids. This may be the reason you feel your sub isn't "keeping up." Also, you didn't mention, but if "Loudness" is on, turn it off. Then adjust your EQ. This will give you more of a baseline than with the added adjustments that the Loudness feature makes for you. Some of the older Pioneer decks also had something called FIE, or Front Image Enhancer. If yours has it, turn that off too. Give yourself as neutral of a starting point as possible from which to adjust the EQ and xover settings. Then go from there. Hope that helps! Mike [/QUOTE]
