have you replaced all your speakers or just the front?</P>


Also, how much power (RMSwatts)are you running to your main speakers? How much to your subs?</P>

 

My main speakers are all stock with no extra power going to them. I wanted to swap them out and put a small amp on them but at the time it was kinda pricey, plus I didn't want the car to be all stereo. All 600 Watts are to the subs. I've been slippin when it comes to getting my sound straightend out.

 

In that case, one reason you're getting so much bass is because your main speakers are running full range- 20hz-20khz. Typically it is best to run frequencies below 60hz to your subs and frequencies above 60hz to your main speakers. Despite what spec sheets will tell you,most full range speakerscando below 60hz accurately.</P>


Since your speakers are reproducing all frequencies (and most likely doing a poor job on everything below 60hz) you have 6 speakers doing what only 2 should be doing. </P>


I hope this helps you out.</P>

 

You recomend a crossover?

 

A crossover will help. The only problem with that as the solution is that you'd have to put it somewhere inbetween the headunit and the speakers. I don't know of a crossover that would be that simple.</P>


A better solution would be to get a 4 channel amp with a built in crossover. As far as I know all amps have built in crossovers.</P>


What kind of headunit do you have? How many pre-outs does it have?</P>

 

The head is an Alpine TDM-7582. I think it only has one set of pre-outs.</P>


</P>

 

I think you're right. I'm pretty sure the Alpine TDM only has 1 preout. That being the case, see if you can find a 4 channel amp that has speaker level inputs. That way you can get signal from the headunit to the amp, and then from the amp to the speakers. Alpine's MRV-F340 will work this way.

 

Does Alpine make good amps? Someone told me they dont.

 

I've owned 3 Alpine amps and they've all worked very well. But, stick with their V-12 line, avoid the V-Power. Even though the V-Power are much better than previous lower end Alpine amps, they aren't as good as the V-12s.</P>


If you don't want Alpine, then take a look at JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Zapco. There are some others, as well, but I can't think of them. Phoenix Gold used to make some really nice amps, but I have only negative remarks about their new for 2004products. The stereo shop I deal with actually dumped the entire PG line.</P>

 

Ever heard of Koiiler Amps?</P>
