[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8924366, member: 689267"] Speakers are not the issue; power is. You can go with a more efficient driver, say the Stevens Audio MB6s, they will definitely improve the output (roughly 25-30%), around 35-40% if you go with the 2-ohm versions (provided the amp increases it's output at 2 ohms), but they also suffer a bit on the bottom end, not much doing between 70-95 hz, comparativley. The JL is pretty efficient as component drivers go; you need more power, regardless. As a rule of thumb, you want to have spare power on hand to deal with headroom, which means at least RMS plus 50%, or 90-100 watts for the JLs. There is a way to do this while utilizing the Kicker Keys DSP. You run it in 4-channel mode as you have done, but instead of running the amp 2 leads to the midbass, you run them to a separate 2-ch or 4-ch bridged amplifier. I know this seems wasteful, but the truth is, you're fine with 50 watts to the tweeters, not doing anyone any favors with running 50 watts to ANY midbass, so the 50 x2 you'll not be using isn't a loss at all.
