[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8385395, member: 660781"] Welcome, hopefully what you read here will allow you to save some money and sound better at that. Not sure which JL subs you have, but I would upgrade the amp first because I doubt you're getting the full potential out of the subs with that amp. The x-over points you listed are incomplete and are indeed: 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200Hz. I'd leave the HU x-over point at 200Hz and use the x-over on the amp instead as it's probably a variable one. I do recommend leaving it at 80Hz (on the amp) to begin with and listen to some of your favorite songs and adjust lower or higher according to your liking. That really is how it works. I also don't know how loud your subs get. With 6.5" and 6x9, the speakers will be pretty **** loud. I have first hand experience with those 6.5" pioneers - they're beefy and loud. Not the best imaging nor stage, nor can you expect that from a set that's $100 on amazon. For the price, I am hard pressed to find a better set though. Also, having huge speakers in the back will move the sound stage to the back as well - ask yourself whether you really want that. A lot of us on here, including myself, only have front speakers installed. You save money by not getting "rear fill" and you can get a better front set instead. Your call. Also, whenever asking for advice, always stage your goals and budget. [/QUOTE]
