lol, it was a joke but ok. I got my car back, and it sounds wonderful. I lowered the gain on both amps, The HU is 4v out the sub amp is 4v min, i have it like 1/32 up. The components amp is 8v min, i have it about about 1/8 or 3/16 at the most. Is that safe? The components are 25-75 rms rated by jl. Im givin em 150 rms. People told me 150 would be fine and jl under rates their comps, ive also seen people selling the same model as mine rate em from 25 to 150 rms. I just dont wanna blow these comps so what all should I watch out for? How long should I let em warm up when its cold out?

Good to hear. You got the XRs? I'm trying to remember, but I think that was right. A 300/2 is a great match for the XR comps. Sweet comps for the money, the ZRs are excellent, too.

yeah it just seems their very lacking in the vocal department on certain songs. It could just be the way their recorded but I really notice it in Disturbed - Just stop and some other songs
also it seems there is a crackly sound with certain songs, and then others are crystal clear. I dunno if they damaged the tweeters or if its just the song

Most likely door resonance. If you don't deaden doors, you end up with large resonances in midrange. Usually you'll have trouble in lower midrange (300-400hz range), which gives a deep, resonant, almost boomy quality to vocals, and also usually between 1-2khz, which can be very fatiguing. You also have to take into account the sonic hole you get with off axis door installs, to the drivers seat, usually your side door will begin rolling off between 1-2khz. That will kill midrange quality, especially with sets like this one where the midbass driver is crossed over around 3.5khz (if I remember correctly, I know it's upper 3khz region). There isn't a whole lot you can do about it without having the midbass driver more on axis. The midbass driver itself is good to 5khz.
