Mine are used, so they are broken in and I don't think you should expect much more out of them right now. Others will probably say you should get the BSW 8" speakers. I'm sticking to my plan though. I don't know if that helps you out any. Food for thought though. Today I pulled the pass through and ski bag out so I can start measuring.

The frequency range for these in this application is about 30 to 200 Hz, and the mid-bass "hole" is anywhere north of 80Hz.

Usually, I get in or around my car and my iphone feeds audio via bluetooth to the car stereo. It always sounded fine until I installed the SWS-8Xis speakers. Today I put a CD in and the SWS-8's woke up. With what I heard from the CD and even the radio today, I am going to add a 300x2 amp to them and determine if I like it like that or still want the IB. I think I need to wipe out my music library and make some low compression files for my iphone too.

I turned off L7 and re-tuned with a CD in it. It was like night and day. I also spoke with a friend last night and he told me that you can put polyfoam in the enclosure which will slow down the sound wave to make the woofer think it is a lager enclosure. He said that will help too. I pulled mine out again and will see if that helps. Next week the amp goes in and I'll let you know how the results turn out.

Did you ever get the sound you were looking for? I am still not as thrilled as I should be with mine since replacing the underseat mid bass. I replaced my Alpine 500w monoblock amp with a Alpine 2 channel 320w amp. Still seems to be too much power for the earthquakes with gain all the way down. In process of building a box for my 10" JL W3 to see if I can get back the frequencies I am missing, tempted to put 2 JL 6W3's instead of the 10W3.

Since the speaker does not have the frequency range of a mid-bass speaker, how does changing the polarity of one speaker fill in the lest frequency ranges? What settings are your amp set to and your tone and eq settings? I may get a few songs to sound good, but some songs I just can't tune at all. |

My amps gain is set almost at lowest level while bass eq is up 3/4's of the way and crossover point is somewhere around 300. Bass for the idrive is set a four ticks below flat and treble set 6 clicks above flat. Logic7 on

Oh yes the entire bottom and sides of the enclosure is already dynomated, I did that when I installed the Earthquakes.... I am getting rattle from the other parts of the floor and doors

My drivers side rocker panel vibrates pretty bad. I can't hear it inside at all. Everything else is pretty solid.
