[QUOTE="dftnz7, post: 4554344, member: 587042"] Well everyone is going to make fun of you, so I am going to actually try and help you with this issue, because not everyone is a self-proclaimed car audio genius. All the other people on the board that like to make fun of everyone else and act like jagoffs knew nothing until they got to this site, now that they have read a lot of "bona fide" information posted by people they don't even know, they consider themselves experts and make fun of anyone who asks a question that seems noobish...Anywho.... First thing, I would check the High Pass Filter on your amplifier, make sure it is in the "HP" setting, then, while listening to the music that makes them distort the worst, gradually adjust the crossover higher until the distortion stops. If you have to go above 100hz on the crossover, then you need to turn the bass boost down on the head unit. Many will tell you that you really shouldn't use the HU to "boost" the signal of any frequencies. Only to make "cuts" i.e., turn down certain frequencies. If you don't have enough bass, add a speaker designed to produce bass--a good subwoofer. Maybe you already have one, we don't know, but don't rely on door speakers to provide you with any real bass below 80hz for average speakers...If you do have a sub and still feel the need to crank the bass up to +3, maybe you need another sub. Keep the low bass out of your door speaks, and let the subs handle it, that is what they are made for. [/QUOTE]
