I have installed in my Dodge Ram the MOMO 6X9 powered by a PDX2.150 amp. They sound good but lack bigtime midbass. I think I might have the Crossover wired wrong but not for sure since it does not have the answer in the book. I have the wire with the white strip that comes out of the supplied crossover going to Positive. Is this the Positive or Negative wire? The book does not say it just shows a picture and by looking at the picture it seems to be the Positive and not the Negative.

Thanks

    I cant remember for 100% and I dont feel like digging them out but Im pretty sure the wire with the white stripe is positive. You can tell because the terminals only fit one way and the terminal for the positive wire on the output of the crossover has the white stripe so you can assume the input with the white stripe is positive also.

    Are they like putting out pathetic midbass or just kinda thin. If theyre just on the thin side Id say let them break in over the next week or two and youll start hearing a difference. If they sound like a 3" speaker, then something else is wrong.

    Yup, I believe thats right. The wire with the white stripe is positive. What are you powering them with? Maybe you're HPF is too high?

    Also, you might want to try putting them in a speaker enclosure if they're not already in an air-tight area. I think that should give you better midbass.
