what does that mean? and how do i fix it?

Sorry I'm not totally sure yet what running a speaker actively means

Does the crossover in a component speaker system affect the way the mid-bass woofer plays? Reason I ask is because I'm currently using only the mid-bass driver of a component system and it doesnt seem like the speaker is playing as good as it did when the crossover was in use.

bump up to the SEs

i've got the PG RSd 1200.1 and its pretty good, i've got it running at 4 ohms too not bad for $250

and what price would that be? : )

nice build thanks for the pics how do you like the RE comps?

Kenwood X591 Pioneer DEH-690UB

I am running '06 MD3D's. I like them, but I may need more poaer flippin sweet dude, hopefully i'll be joining the us amps team again cough cough hey flakko any news yet i'm getting anxious

i guess for the price it's okay i'd look at the kenwood DDX6019, much better sound quality and features IMO

just tried the hifonics 1606 last week, its pretty bad

man i love this place, it's so easy to learn stuff so what about subwoofers i have two but they're running off a single channel amp, is it possible for them to not sound right even if they're in absolute phase?

to make a long story short i've been bassless for the past week or so so it's forced me to pay close attention to my mids & tweets which today revieled a pleasant surprise remember no subs this is just door speakers I changed the balance on the HU to full left and i noticed the bass response was alot tighter then when i balanced out left and right the same happend when i put the balance to full right, the bass was much tighter then when the balance was even so i swapped the positive and negative speaker wire on the right channel of my amp and BOOM the bass was deep and clear even when the balance was even now i'm almost positive that i followed positive and negative all the way from the amp to the speaker when i first installed everything a couple months ago if i did, that would mean that i now have a positive on my amp going to a negative on my speaker (which doesn't matter cause it sounds a thousand times better now) does this make any sense?

pm replied just for chits and giggles i picked up the bxi1606d, it kinda sucks but it's probably good for burps i'll be returning it monday and praying to the bass gods that my dealer quits jerkin me around and gets the md2d by then

well for one i need an amp stable down to 1 ohm and i'm pretty sure the zx line is only stable down to 2 it feels like kicker amps and RE subs just don't go together like a peanut butter and caviar sandwich

ixnay on the ickerkay

under $300 both those amps are under $250

Hifonics BXi1606D - 1600w RMS x 1 ohm U.S. Amps XT-4000D - 1500w RMS x 1 ohm both are close in price but the us amps is considered entry level and the hifonics isnt not sure what do you guys think? using them on 2 12" RE SEs at 1 ohm heres the data sheet on the hifonics theres nothing really similar for the XT though

SEs are good

yep you did.

yep you did.

that MIMS song doesn't really bump for me Top Shooter by DMX Cali Diseaz by Shade Sheist

you can keep the stock HU, and if all you want is more bass you'll get it but like mrray13 said crossovers are a big plus especially when adding a subwoofer since you no longer need to rely on door speakers for bass what usually happens since your stock HU doesn't have crossovers you end up having to turn down the bass on your HU which will lower the output of your amp which in turn forces you to turn up the gain, which isnt bad but definetly not ideal its pretty easy to hack into a stock system and add a sub and amp, so try it and see if it suits you if you end up wanting better sound at least you'll already have the wiring ran for your amp

for under $200 i'd get the 5900ub 4v preouts for your subs built in usb
