[QUOTE="new2one, post: 316008, member: 542446"] Hello, first want to say thanks for the advice on here, I wound up getting a JBL 1200 watt amp and 2 12" Kicker L7's sound great! I have the sub and amp hooked up to my only pre-amp output on my HU, it is a Aiwa CDC series with 2.2v output. I have my 2 front component speakers (Boston acoustics RX57 35W RMS 140W Peak - in the front) and my 2 back component speakers (Kenwood KFC-1079ie 20W RMS and 100W peak) hooked to the HU directly. When I crank the bass on the HU at low volumes it sounds great, but when the volume is loud and I turn the bass up all my component speakers distort badly. I have added "bass blockers" hoping that would help (cause if I turn down the bass to negative on the HU) I can blast the stereo and have no distortion, nice and crisp. The bass blockers don't seem to block out the bass only the mids which the speakers seemed to handle (I have 600Hz on the 5.25"''s and 800Hz on the 4"'s) What would be the best thing to do to get this sounding good? I was thinking a few options: 1) Buy a 4 channel amp for the components turn the high pass filter on and run it like that. (Id have to hook the amp up to speaker-level inputs) 2) Buy a Sony Xplod CDX-M630(or similar) HU with sub control and built-in crossovers 3) keep it down low (this is unacceptable) :-) Anything you guys would recommend me to do?
