subs overpowering

Turn the gain down on your sub amp. You can't magic more db's by sprinkling magic spl fairy dust on your amp. You have to balance what you have. Either that or save your $$$ and upgrade. Your probably going to end up doing that anyways. This hobby is an obsessive thing.

what i dont get, is HOW after mulitple times i said it, i want it as loud as it can be, while still hearing the music. reading > you

now that being said, i understand that my fronts cant do that and will need better ones in the future

It does work that way. I dont care if you are trying to blend stock front speakers off deck power with your 1500 watt substage, you would still blend them together using that same method.
Most people dont bother trying to get their system to blend however, they just turn everything up to its max, assume all those independent systems work together well... just because, then brag about the amazing SQ.

If i have an uber SQ sub, would I still need good fronts?

I mean, would the SQ of the sub make up for the fronts?

I would suggest saving up to get decent front speakers, then bridge your amp to just power those. Run the rear speakers off of the deck. At loud volumes, you wont even hear the rear speakers.
