It doesn't distort at all? Like, what are they lacking in sound that makes em sound like shat?

Haha.... maybe a little bit of distortion but to be honest, they aren't getting louder or cleaner than off the head unit?
The doors are in a Honda Civic and I sealed them off from the door itself (like a pod) I have them crossed the best I can off that head unit.

I don't think the 2 volt output on the hu would be the culprit, but i could be wrong. Is everything wired correctly? Is it just 2 speakers you installed or more? Also, the amp's a 2 channel right?

It's 2 ch. with balanced inputs... which I'm not utilizing due to headunit. It's wired correctly, I knew I was disappointed with these speakers before but not this much....
Tweets and mids in the stock locations, wired with the passive crossover w/ 0db increase. If my amp had xo settings I'd run the mids and tweets separately and cross them over at the amp, but it doesn't. I used audiotechnix sound deadener.

I don't know man, hopefully someone else will chime in on this. Sounds like you've done the best you can though. Good luck

How did they sound in your vehicle? Did you wire them up right? They might be out of phase.

It's on custom eq, I have to choose what they are on. Other than that, the amp doesn't have built in crossovers and the passive ones for these components don't do a very good job. They are running off 100rms each... which at 100hz I thought they would handle fine. Meh.

Meh, too much expectations for sure. It's good enough for her, I dropped in 2krms and she said too much.. so, dropped down to 300rms on the 12w3 laying around. Sounds good to her and the w3 crossed over around 120 does really well keeping the mids sounding good.
Hey how did you seal these off from the doors? I've seen people install foam baffles, call them pods, and then have extremely lacking midbass due to too much air pressure choking the cones.

The formula is Square Root of your target Wattage Multiplied by Ohms.
50Wx4Ohms=200. Square root of 200 is 14.14. So 15v AC is your target.
