[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8861775, member: 689267"] Like SbassLaser said, personal preference. I'm able to save settings so that when others are in the car, they have sound too. When it's just me, sometimes I toggle to a setting set up with only me the driver in mind. Most of the time, I have both front and rear on, it's a preference. One thing I always stress when people are considering using a component set up in front and filling in the rear, I always use the same manufacturer of speakers, and usually the 2-way coaxial version of the fronts, minimizes the staging impact, to a degree, as there is little if any difference in the actual sound (specifically the timbre) between the two - then it is truly filling and not a different sound coming from a different source. That said, the CX360.4 amplifier is fairly versatile but it uses push-buttons on the filters while in small amps is probably necessary, it can be a pain if you bump one and change it from a HPF to a LPF. That Pioneer - 6" x 9" 4-way Coaxial is more of 2.5 way in that it uses a high crossed mid and 2 tweeters to take care of the higher frequencies and I would never categorize any of the pioneer quad-ax speakers as dull, on the contrary. Check the settings by disengaging the filters on that channel and see if it corrects the issue. It is possible that the crossover has checked out and is stuck in LPF mode too. Before you run out and get another amp or speakers, check all the filters to see that they are set correctly. If you do end up replacing the speakers and the amp, here is what I would look at getting to improve while replacing those items. This is a great buy on a powerful 4-channel amp. It's 125w watts x 4 as opposed to the 60 x 4 with the kicker, more is always better and they are running out of stock at this price ($69) [URL unfurl="true"]https://blackbrickaudio.com/products/100-watt-4-channel-amplifier[/URL] Not sure which Polk comps you have so something like these or whichever the 6x9 version of the Polks you have are, the same tweeter type being the most important part of that decision.
