[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 7760074, member: 560148"] First and foremost, sounds like the sub is up too loud.. Turn the gain down.. You should hear it blend if you take it low enough.. Basic rule of thumb for a sub and SQ, if you can tell it's playing, it's playing too loudly.. The only time you should notice the subwoofer is if you turn it all the way off, then you'll hear the difference.. So turn it down until you can just barely notice that it's on.. Second thing to do is address the rattles. A sub can sound like crap if your hearing the panels the sub is vibrating more than the sub itself. No point in getting a nice sub if you wont' deaden. It's amazing to me how many people try to use a SQ sub without deadener. Third, what is your lpf and hpf on your subs and mids? Last thing I'd ask you is do you have access to time alignment? If not, try swapping polarity on the subwoofer and see if that helps, or change the subs orientation, face it different directions.. If you can answer/ fix these issues/questions we (I) can probably help you. [/QUOTE]
