[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 8677612, member: 549629"] Yes, different music types tend to emphasize different frequency ranges. Rap tend to be bass heavy, techno tends to be midbass heavy, for example. But in my opinion, almost all music improves drastically when you improve your midbass setup. You might see an improvement by playing with the xover settings for the door speakers. Doors tend to have enough volume to give a component speaker a (basically) infinite baffle setup and offer much more opportunity for midbass response than would the same speaker mounted in a small cavity like a pillar. You may find that setting your door speakers to run strictly midbass improves the over all quality. Set the doors to run midbass, and pillars to run midrange, if they aren't already. Im not familiar with those speakers so I cant comment on their midbass presence. But there's also the possibility of exchanging the door speakers for some with better midbass response, or more cone area to improve misbass output. More 'low bass' is a function of your subwoofer system. As I said above, imo your best bet is to simplify your subwoofer to a single driver, or a single size/brand/model. Trying to mix subs is usually disaster. If it was me, id probably look at picking up another 10W6 and making/having made a custom box. IIRC those HO wedges from JL are pretty peaky and lack low end extension. Hence the "high output" designation. [/QUOTE]
