[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8695998, member: 650438"] Your door has a lot of gaps still and looks like a half assed deadening job sorry to say, its not gonna bet much midrange out of that. Other issue it might be is its wired out of phase to test if this is the case, swap one Speaker's pos and negative wire on the amp which will invert the phase for one and then give it a listen. Others is amp settings. Make sure all low and high pass filters are turned off. Every crossover should be done at the head unit. Try 80hz or 63hz for high pass and the same for subwoofers low pass. Make sure the gains are set properly as well and turn off any bass boost. Make sure bass boost is turned off on the head unit as well as any kind of special sound effects and do not boost anything in the EQ, build a customer and only lower frequencies that are way too prominent aka in your case the high end. Report back and we'll see what the next step is. If none of those did anything the head unit and then amp are the next to go. That sony is a pretty crap head unit for sound quality through RCA output. [/QUOTE]
