I needed a pull up bar so did what I do best. Cracked one out with what I had laying around!

My Fox Gloves and Tulips are already starting to bloom. Hopefully I don't lose the Cherry tree blossoms this year.

Is like spring here. Already raked the yard.

Black Label Society tickets...YES PLEASE!!

You couldn't pay me to go back to my 20's.

His brother Jimmy was opening for Eric Clapton. Was a stellar show!!

I remember the day SRV died. Sad day in music.

I would kick it in for you mang, IF I was there.

I would of swore this rib eye came from a milk cow. Daisy dog loved it with her breakfast the last few mornings atleast!

I have found a few local places with good prime rib but that's about it.

sadly the steakhouse I tried this week did not impress me.

Love me some good ribeye!!

There is the possibility of a bum channel on the amp. If it where me I would be trying them to both sets of channels on the amp, without bridging. So try ch 1-2 and then switch them to ch 3-4 and see if you hear a difference. Also try both RCA patch cables and make sure one of them isn't the culprit. That's about the best tests you can do with what you have. That and continue to learn how to tune til YOU understand what your doing. I haven't looked a whole lot at comps lately. The last two sets I bought where Alpine type-r's and Polk mm6.5's. Didn't care so much for the Polks, could get more for the money. On the other hand the Alpine's sounded great, but were the last model so can't vouch for the new one's. I would say go jam on what they have at the local store. If you you find something you like great. If not You will have a more subjective point of view for us to help from.

The manual calls for the splitters in bridged mode so you should be correct there. I am leaning towards either you have 2 of the rca's crossed at the splitter or a faulty rca cord. that or a bad amp? Where did you get the amp?

Why are you running the RCA spliters? That looks like the problem right there. Everything else looks good.

since it already sounded good before the amp then the install of everything else should be capable of reproducing the same sound. If not better. Recheck all your wire connections to the amp to assure nothing is shorting or touching and is connected to the correct spot. Next I would try a different set of RCA cables. Where did you get the amp? Do you have another amp you could try?

The MS (morphine sulfate) is about the only pain med that actually takes the pain away. Not just nuke you til you dont care.

Ordered a tilt aftermarket column. I got the black powder coated one! http://www.borgeson.com/xcart/catalog/19651966_Mustang_BPC_Tilt_Column_for_Borgeson_box-p-1546.html Also ordered the P/S setup! http://www.borgeson.com/xcart/catalog/Mustang_P_S_Kit_19651966_289_302_351W_Manual_Steering-p-1550.html ordered the repop factory style wheel too! Should be pimp!!

The passive xover that came with the speakers only filters the top of the mid and bottom of the tweeter. The xover on the amp is filtering the bottom of the mid only. Iirc you started off with the lp/hp shut off, does it sound like before the amp install with that setting off? Did you have the cups behind the mid installed before the amp? You say the sound is worse after the amp. Do the speakers sound any louder or better with the amp excluding the bass portion?

Troll your local CL, might get lucky.

Adjust the xover down to 63hz and see if it helps the sound.

What sounded better? elaborate please. the overall sound was more balanced, the output level, less distortion, cleaner/crisper highs, more bass, less bass????? My opinion of "sounded better" could be completely different as thats very subjective. So what sounded better about the one setup to you? Then we can hone in on reproducing that for you. I too would love to see a pic and know what other filters are in use.

HP is high pass filter. The Frequency setting is where the HPF lets anything higher than that freq pass through. Without the HP turned on you are sending a full signal to the speakers, and forcing the speaker to play lower than it is intended. You could set the HPF to 63hz and would gain back some bass, but at the expense of output. Vise versa you can set to 100hz and gain output, but at the expense of midbass. Ideally you would hope the sub covered up to 80-100hz with a LPF, and then you can afford to cross the mid/tweet higher for more output.

Set the high pass filter to 80-100hz.

I was pissed when I went to Ozzfest and Ozzy played with Black Sabbath.
