kickass audio Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 It shouldnt. I have an AA SMD 18 tuned to 30Hz in a 5.6 cubic foot box net and it slams to all hell and beyond but i can still hear my mids and highs perfectly fine even when the bass slams. I have my mids and highs on my dc audio 175.4 so they are all getting good power and they are set so that channel 1+2 are for the mids, and channel 3+4 are for the highs so i can control them better but either way i have no problem hearing my mids and highs over my sub. As it was said before, making a good box will help you with having great results. Also, if you plan to run your speakers off your headunit, it may have a risk of drowning out your mids and highs from the bass as there isnt enough power to defect the bass knocking them out. I noticed this greatly in my previous car, 1998 oldsmobile 88. I had a 12" Kicker Solox in a shitty ass prefab box that was tuned really high. It got loud and punched for the bass (not how i like it now with my new system tho) but my mids and highs were also kicker, i had kicker 5.25" components up front and a kicker 6x9 in the rear and ran them off my headunit and i couldnt hear them at all when the bass hit hard. So if you plan to use your headunit to power the mids and highs expect them to be easily drowned out from the bass but if you have them on an amp and properly tuned, you should hear the entire stage just fine.
