[QUOTE="JayRich, post: 5090895, member: 572241"] What do you have the HPF set to on your amp for the speakers? Alot of the time, when you have a stock system they make it so that the headunit internal amp has a bass boost at certain frequncies but since they are cheap speakers when you turn them up you will hear distortion. Aftermarket equipment allow you to set the gains and equalization yourself, so you'll have to play around with the settings. You may want to check the specs on your speakers to see what the lowest frequency it will play and set it for the next highest level that you head unit with cross it at. Ex. if it can play down to 58 hz, then set it at lets say 62, and then have your sub play all the frequencies below that point, so that they wont play the same notes. I'd say check your crossover setting first, but also agree to seal and deaden the doors [/QUOTE]
