well i got my cdt's and put them in, but they sound like butt.. they work perfect, but theres echoeing and bass issues.. when i balance it all the way to one side it sounds ok, but once in the middle it sucks, ive switched the wires around and all, still no change.. any ideas?

Echo's?
That leads me to think one of your mids is out of phase. Tends to be the cause of echo like sound. Especially if it sounds good faded to one side or the other. Its hard to isolate an out of phase speaker when its just one on one.
Double check you wiring from the amp/head unit to both crossovers and from the crossovers to the speakers/tweets.
Also check any kind of phase shift option on your amp/head unit.

hmm im gonna say the same check the polarity. make sure you have it wired correct. make sure you have the tweeter and mid bass wired in the correct position on the xover also

i guess i can update.. sorry for the confusion.. my old HU's preouts were shot somehow(Premier 670), and i traded a friend hu's because he doesnt care for subs, and he has the 6700(you can get it at Wal Mart) so after the switch, everything works and sounds great, and dont worry, the jbl 180.2 is on stereo and sounds wonderful, it was just my cd players preouts.. so again, everything is back to normal and sounds great
