[QUOTE="rlcowboy, post: 3168223, member: 572296"] I noticed you said you don't have a LPF? Do you you not have a crossover at all? Most decent amps today have a a crossover built in, if not then you need to buy & install a seperate,external crossover. You need a Low Pass Crossover, & two high Pass crossover settings. The crossover is there to make sure the right frequencys are directed to the right speakers. For example you want to start your Low Pass filter setting at around 80hz and maybe go down just a little from there depending on the sound, but you don't want to go too far under 80hz or you will be cutting out too many bass frequencys! Same thing applys to your mid range speaker and high range speakers but of course diferent frequenys. Also if you want sound quality, witch that's how mine is set up also, you should be using a sealed enclosure but if your not then there is another setting you need to be using. When using a ported enclosure you need to set your lpf and then there is another setting that will cut off the real low frequencys from going through. Like you would set it around 15-20hz, that way nothing lower than those frequncys will come through.I've noticed diferent manufactuers have diferent names for that setting but all do the same thing. On a sealed box you need not worry about that setting only a ported box.
