Help! No midbase!

Here is what I have in my Nissan Maxima

Head unit -- Kenwood 790 Excelon

4 x Polk Audio 6500 speakers on same locations as factory. Tweeters mounted high on the columns.

C-400 Polk Audio amp feeding the speakers only.

SPL5000 Pioneer mono amp . Tsunami 5 Fahrad capacitor feeding it.

SPL3000 Pioneer Sub

My Problem: I can't hear almost any mid frequencies through the speekers! All of my components are of high quality (and price) and I must have some settings wrong. Base is good and highs are loud and clean but no deam mids!

I have not used any filters on the head unit. The C-400 crossovers are set up to HP and 50hz. At 12 db. Gains are about 50%.

Any ideas for wrong settings appreciated. My old car had lower rated pioneer speakers and very cheap amp and no subs at all but the speakers were KICKING HARD. There is no reason this setup should do any worse.

Is there anyone from Chicagoland around? I would love to show my setup to someone and get advice. If really helpful I can pay too.

I put around $2K in audio and must have good sound. Help please.
