ive purchased these speakers along with some alpine 6.5 type s speaker for the front. to power them i have an alpine f240 at 4x40 watts rms. the 6x9's are rated at 55rms. the problem i have is that the 6x9 sound like crap when i turn the volume up, they cant handle the bass its getting. i turn the bassboost all the way down on the amp and set the gains right for the speaker, but for some reason the 6x9 cant handle very much bass. i thought these speakers were decent and could handle some power and bass. any suggestions? |

haha yeah eh...hmm...well i figured that since they are decent speakers that they should be able to handle some type of power. It jsut makes me feel like they are cheap a$s speakers, which i didnt think they were |

Could get some conversion plates and put 6 1/2's in there they would sound alot better. |

I think you might have the HPF set too low on the 6x9's. In most cases from what yuor describing ,that will be the problem. |

How can the hpf be set too low on the 6x9's? Doesn't the hpf affect all the speakers, including the front speakers? |

there is a seperate filter for channel 1&2 (front) and 3&4 (rear) and there is only one setting, im guessing its at 80hz. but still, should the 6x9's not be able to handle 40 watts rms/? |
