I got another problem:( My subs seem to be playing in a too high of a frequency. It really doesn't sound very good to me. I have the crossover on the amp at the lowest (50Hz). On the deck I got the bass center frequency at the lowest (60Hz) and the bass bandwidth on 3 out of 4. With these settings on the lowest they can be, I can still hear highs that are way to high and lows that are not even low at all. My 10 inch Infinity I have in my basement sounds a hell of a lot better. Is there some type of equalizer I can get that can change the signal up so I can get my Kickers to dig deep?

I have this deck: http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=CDE-9881

Does that deck have a mono preout? Couldn't tell from the specs page

It has a front out, rear out and a sub out.
That is strange because most decks with sub preout have an automatic crossover. I know my kenwood excellon deck automatically sets the sub preout at 80hz and then you can take it lower within the eq settings of the deck.

I don't know what to do now. Do I try a different deck? What brand/deck model will for sure work? I'm stumped...
