[QUOTE="rlcowboy, post: 2572313, member: 572296"] Everyone's comments are right! You do get what you pay for! If you are limited in your funds department you can always look on ebay and get stuff half price or better, and that's for some stuff NEW! Just deal with folks that have lots of positive feedback! Sony makes some good elctronic equipment but not considered that great in the car audio world. For the set up you have right now there is'nt too much u can do but check your crossover settings, dont know if that amp has the settings on it or if your deck has them or both?
