[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8667926, member: 650438"] I see a big problem. Your head unit is only two pairs of 2 volt preouts which highly indicates a low quality head unit outputting a low quality signal, happens with my buddy's install, no matter the setting, it wasnt that loud and it clipped the subs a lot easier. With a much stronger pre-out voltage quality head unit, his subs were a lot louder and remained cool and never smelled. For reference my buddy had the previous generation of your head unit. Your buddy with a factory head unit probably has a high voltage LOC and the factory head unit did not high pass any bass in the signal along with his vehicle acoustics are a lot better than yours which leads to louder sound.  As said before, this is a blessing in disguise for the future. You can bridge your 4 channel into 2 channel mode for some beefy mids like prv 6.5 neos and use the 2 channel for tweeters. Then get a dedicated monoblock and better head unit with at least 3 pairs of 4 volt or higher pre-outs and do a full blown active network setup.  Dont waste any money on rears btw focus all attention to the front stage.
