hey, i just finished installing my 13W7 and 2 500/1's in a ported box and it sounds great. but now my mids and highs are almost wiped out, lol.
i have fiberglass kick panels with boston RC620's being powered by an alpine mrv-t420, about 125 watts x 2. (mb quartz won't fit because of flush mounting system) in the rear i have boston fx 6.5's powered by the head unit (alpine cda 9813) but they might as well not even be there, can't hear them at all.
any suggestions on how to get more sound up front? new components? more power?....
You might want to try higher powered components with a better amp. Alpine isn't the best when it comes to power and SQ. Have you listen to PPI's Art series 600.2 amp? It'll blow the paint off your Alpine amp. Ok it's a bit exaggerated but you will hear SQ improvement. Unless you have a phase shift, the rear speakers will be over powered by your sub.
