I disconnected my speakers and was listening to my sub by itself and I noticed that I could slightly hear some words. Everything sounds good and you cant hear it when the speakers are connected so I was wondering if this is normal.Thanks in advance for any help.

whats your crossover point?

No, not normal. Your crossover settings are not adjusted right

I have it on the lpf and I tried turning it all the way down to 40 hz. I think it might just be the amp its a cheap old insignia ns-a1000.

Or your crossover is just not working. Even at a 6dB slope at 40Hz you shouldn't really be hearing words. Obviously some leakage will occur, but it won't be much.

The amp's crossover probably sucks.

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm pretty sure the crossover is just junk. I'll be looking to upgrade as soon as the funds come in.

try an external and check your head unit settings

my exile 1000.1 did that with the voice really bad too then it fried so i'm taking i'n my bottles and diggin in my couch to buy a new amp

try an external and check your head unit settings

I'm expecting my new head unit to come in any day now, I got a Pioneer 4200ub. I'm pretty sure it will make a big difference because right now I'm running a cheap Panasonic my friend gave me for free.

Well i think that deck your getting has an internal X-OVER and will help the problem but either way just get a new amp because something else might be wrong.

Does your Panasonic have a dedicated sub RCA output? Does it have crossovers for your interior speakers? If you have the RCAs coming out of the front or rear RCA outputs, and not a sub, and the head unit has high pass crossovers for the interior speakers, that crossover will be passed to the sub also. If that's the case, that's the problem. You'd need to turn the high pass filter on the head unit off.

what sub....is that also a cheap POS
