How are the speakers wired? And if you can toss a model number out on the amps, and the specs on the subs it will help us see if it might be a wiring confliction.

Also how are the amps set, Gain - bass boost - LP filter - etc...

We will do what we can.

Oh, I missread that thread, thought you wanted to know why your speakers were not living up to their potential.

I will post some ideas for you later when I have time. And some links where you can save some $$.

alpine or pioneer interior speakers. Dont cheap out on audio, i think either audio or exhaust systems are the best examples of "you get what you pay for"

If you check out the guys at http://www.sonicelectronix.com/index.phpyou can get a pretty decent deal on a set of Alpines, or pretty much any other speaker for the interior.

The Alpine Type S is the typical Apline solution, and they are 30% cheaper here then anywhere else I have seen them, although I haven't purchased from them yet, so i can't say I swear by their service, but I plan to.

The Type S seen here, only 60 bucks a set.
The Infinity Reference series seen here, along the same quality/price/reliability.
The Pioneer, a very cheaply priced decent upgrade over factory seen here.

These are a few budget picks, if you go upwards in quality, you are going to want an amp to bring out the full quality. These 3 will sound pretty decent on factory or aftermarket powered head units alone.

If you have any questions, or want to compare, let me know I will help you out however i can.

In my experience, Alpine and Infinity sound amazing!

Depends on budget really, you can get Type S components and Type S 6x9's for almost 200 bux, maybe more maybe less depending...type r sound even better and can take ALOT of RMS watts if you decide to amp them.

Course a nice 500 dollar set of Top of the Line Diamonds sound great too!
