my comps are midranges, they are not midbass. and they are being run off of a 2ch amp. and what do you mean use it as vocals? hookup the midrange to the amp, and run the tweets off of the HU?

Have you sealed and deadened the doors ? Sealing and deadening your doors ( the enclosure for the drivers ) will help increase the low end response dramatically //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Where and how are your mids mounted ?

I think a better question is, where are the tweeters mounted? If they are up high, like in the sail panels, or in the dash, that would explain it. I never could get my tweeters sounding good up high, I had to mount them next to the mids down in the door.
