hey thanks that helped a lot. Im not sure it was clipping or what not. the speakers were bottoming out i guess? any ways i set the headunit to pass through and let the amp do the filtering and it fixed the whole problem. then i set the gain and now the speakers play amazingly. im not sure what i was doing, but i guess i was trying to set the frequency range on the headunit and i had it set to 100 on the amp and maybe they were fighting each other? i have no idea. i just took the head unit out of the equation and let the amp do the work and now its awesome. and yes, the headunit is confusing as all hell. thx for the responses though.

Hi. I Just bought a FiQ12 and am waiting for it to arive. But right now I have a Clarion cz702 hu with focal polyglass 165 vb front speakrs and focal polyglass 165 cvx back speakers and a alpine pdx-f4 amp running the speakers and one memphis mojo 12 and memphis amp in the back. Im replacing the mojo with the fi. When i turn the head unit all the way to max, the speakers clip. I have the amp turned all the way down and the amp in the headunit off. I have the system set to normal right now because i dont understand the 2 way and 3 way set ups options and what all the numbers mean. I dont know what all the corss over numbers are or what i should have running through my speakers and im kinda scared to mess with them so i dont mess them up. Am i putting to much power to the speakers? Or do i have something else wrong. I tried looking online, but i couldnt find anything really describing any of this. Its very frustrating. Please help.
