Could really use some help - Newb
#1
I've trying a search for this but the question is too complicated -
I have 6.5 components in the front and 6.5 coaxles in the rear (CDT's) - plus a 10" enclosed sub (Boston Pro) all runing off a high current 4 ch amp. The front / rears are running off the front channels and the sub has the rear channels of the amp (Plenty of power).
The sub was just added and this set up has really destroyed the front imaging - the 6.5 rears are now too much when combined with the sub. I can't fade anymore (other than mid's to sub).
OK - finally the question. Is there anyway to reduce the power to the rear mids? Maybe a in-line resister or power reducer (I know, I'm reaching and I have no clue as to what I'm talking about). Or should I just remove the rears and use the front components and the sub? BTW, I would rather not add a monoblock - no space. Please help - much appreciated!!

OK - I'm using the factory H/U with a David Navone 4 ch LOC. In this situation, would I be able to use the factory deck to power the rears? Would it be as simple as wiring the decks factory fronts to the rear speakers?

I don't think it's the sub that is causing the problem, at least not on it's own. I think its a combination of the rear 6.5's and the sub. If I can back off the rear speakers, I think all will be good. I have the sub pretty well where I want it - it's the rears I can't mess with because they are working off the same channel as the fronts.
BTW, the amp is a Visonik high current 50x4

easiest way to fix your problem i think would be to buy an aftermarket deck with seperate pre-outs for you sub (ie an option to adjust your sub volume) and if your still having probklems add another amp. you say your sub has lots of power? buy a smaller amp to run your speakers and use your original amp to run your sub. you should be happy with the results.
