[QUOTE="3.5Max6spd, post: 4121652, member: 555373"] possibilities... 1) Need to better play with Level matching, maybe you have a void or cancellations in your vehicle in that range. 2) Your expectations are too high for your install. Thats plenty of power for that speaker thermally, any more wont quite get you anywhere but maybe a damaged driver if you dont use it properly. Headroom is nice, but its purpose is to deliver 'dynamics' of the recordings/source. You HU volume dial dictates how loud you play. If properly level matched your system should increase in the bandwidth in a 'LINEAR' fashion as you increase voltage/volume on the source. Of course your bass will be cranking at higher volumes. While you may not think its loud it could very show on an RTA that it is in those frequencies. Of course stock speakers 'seem' louder or fuller' as they put out higher levels of distortion and had resonance(prior to deadning) aid in their SPL. A more refined driver wont necessarily sound this way, but rather deliver the finite details and precision stock cannot offer. [/QUOTE]
