    Alright so i just put in an amp and all new inside speakers(not sub) and i need some advice on the settings. I have a Kenwood KDC x494 head unit that has so many options i don't know where to start. i got this amp. Sound Ordnance™ M-4075 4-channel car amplifier — 75 watts RMS x 4 at Crutchfield.com. and these speakers Rockford Fosgate Punch P1692 6"x9" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield.com
    Alpine SPS-600C Type-S 6-3/4" component speaker system — fits in 6-1/2" or 6-3/4" openings at Crutchfield.com
    so any help getting the settings close or advice on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

    Just start tweaking things slowly until you find what sounds good to you.

    well I have no idea what your locations are that you're utilizing. First thing I'd say is try reversing the polarity of your right mid. See if that helps. After you do that...reverse polarity of the sub a few times to see what sounds better.

    I'd tell you to get a 24 decibel slope on the mids and set the HP at ~60hz if you can. Play the sub with an LP at 60hz as well and also a 24db slope if available. But also try 12 decibel slope too. Again, reverse polarity on the sub to see what sounds better. Do the same with the tweets. Tuning takes a while :/

    I don't have a sub and i have on idea what polarity is. I have no idea when it comes to tuning this stuff. I can figure stuff out pretty easy if I have something to read or any general tips. So if you anyone has any links to good and not really long reads about this stuff I would be very greatful.

    I pretty much gave you an easy start point. You can google words or go to dictionary.com
