two subs, two amps?

That aside, there is no stereo information that will be discernable below 80Hz in the car - it's physics. If you don't already have the gear, but are considering the purchase of MORE gear to achieve this result, you'll gain nothing with the additional outlay of cash.If "audiophile" bass is what you're after, you are going the wrong way, amigo...

my bass is very clean , if you are questioning the gear ?. there is no problem there it is very clean aside from what i posted im running morel mt 37 tweeters with cdt blending tweeters and re audi0 xxx 2 ohm mids and an ma audio 1700xe amp for the mids , i can tune a stereo im 40 and have been doing this for a while my gear at home is all high end 20k plus worth , and as far as tuning ,my system sounds great , my question was concerning channel separation of subs l/r."audiophile" i have thanks for all of the replies and comments jim

thanks man , im running my mids at 125 and as i stated they are re audio xxx and morel mt 37 tweets they really work well blending with the sub and the sub gear im using is great the kicks pound through your chest and the amp never gets hot , panteras uplift literally was bouncing change out of my door rull thanks jim

man you have a very random assortment of components, what are you using for a crossover on all those speakers?

ok so your mids are crossed over at 125Hz, at what frequency is your sub crossed over? if you have it set too close to your mids xover point then depending on the slope you could have too much of an overlay. so it makes your sub and your mid try to play the same frequencies right around where you say you are having problems. having different speakers playing the same notes can make it sound muddy or slow or just generally not right. so you may need to lower the subs xover point to about 80Hz

again this is only my opinion based on experience. im not one of these brilliant mathematicians on this site that can explain everything with numbers and values.
