You just like to think you are. What Bullox said ^^^ is good info. But here's the stereo equipment side of it. Speakers are built to handle certain frequency ranges. Say a sub. You don't want full range going to a sub, you want about 80Hz and below. I tend to put 60Hz and below to subs. Same with tweeters, you want nothing below 7500Hz (7.5KHz) going to your tweeters. Any low to mid range will blow them in a heart beat. Now if you tell me you're running "2-Way 6X9's" you're wasting time with this post. 2-way, 3-way, whatever...they're basically speakers for dummies. In order to get a good sounding system you need to understand component systems, how they work, cross-over points, dba suppression or expression, harmonic resonance, how frequency waves work (not just numbers but physical cosine/sine waves), refraction vs. reflection, interferrance.....the list goes on and on. I suggest you pick up some books and start reading, or go to a 12volt forum and start looking through the "things we've seen before" threads.
I suggest you scroll up to the top again and read what my post says. I said I havent taken the time to do it. I have been building car audio system for 10 years, I tuned with my ears. Last, I said I didint want to start reading alot of shit. I learn more by chatting online or face to face. Take for instance, 1 post above yours, it was short and to the point and it helped. Now unless youve had a bad day or something, I also suggest you lay off searching in old posts and posting in them just to search for someone to degrade.
