I just got a new system in my jeep. I got
4 * Pioneer TS-D160R 225w/max 60w/rmx 2 way speakers
http://www.cardomain.com/item/PIOTSD160R
2 * Pioneer TS-W255DVC 700w/max 350w/rms boxed subs
http://www.cardomain.com/item/PIOTSW255DVC?ref=bizrdf
1 Directed Audio 4 Channel Amp 600w 75*4w/rms 4 Ohm a/b amp
http://www.drdetailshop.com/d4500.htm
1 Directed Audio 2 Channel Amp 550w 200*2 2 ohm a/b amp
http://www.drdetailshop.com/d2400.htm
And I Have a Pioneer DEH-640 face plate
The people that installed the the system, set everything up with the front/rear, 2 way speakers, with a high pass filter, and sub with low pass filter.(which provides all the bass)
The system is ****ing loud, clear as hell & sounds fine with rap music. But is annoying as hell with edm, because it sounds like all the bass is in the back, and the highs are getting ****in annoying.
What are some suggestions to move more bass to the front? What is a good method to get the eq'ing right, so i dont kill my ears, but it still sounds good? Should i set the front & rear speakers to flat on the amps, instead of using the high pass filter?

you dont really want your door speakers to get below 60hz on most 2 way speakers as this can cause distortion for they where nmot meant for sub type bass frequencies... as for harsh highs some speakers are ju7st very harsd.. for instyance on my system i set the bass at -1 and the trble at +2 for rap and then for country and rock i set the baas at +1 and the trble at flat to get a gfood sound. but this is going to all have to be changed to suit your ear.
rap and rock is very differnt sounds rap is almost all bass and highs not alot of mid where as rock is a wider spectrum. so you well probakly always need to adjust everytime you switch between the 2. evebn between CD's i make adjustments soemtimes.
i could sit here and tell you what to do but basicaly its all up to your ear you have to set it to sound correect to your ear.

Hey there newcomer...Welcome to CK! This is common when the system is not properly tuned. It takes time to determine the proper EQ settings and power loading to each stage of your system. (Front/Rear & Subs)
As you listen, learn to dial up/down the midrange area of the system. Boosting frequencies in the 250-500 range, nets rich, full voices. With some cutting back on 1Khz-10Khz, will reduce shrill, harsh voicing and cymbals, hi-hat etc. Just have to tinker with it until you get the quirks worked out.
Part of this is the music mix. Rap is full of lows and some mid/highs. Country is rich in lows, mids and highs. Rock is usually heavy on mids/highs and minimal bass. Just depends on the guy who mixed it.
Be patient and learn to listen critically to your music and adjust EQ to get a feel for what it can do. It takes a while to get familiar with a new system. BTW, great amps.
