I'm having trouble tuning my setup to sound like it is mixed well. I listen mostly to rock and it seems like the subwoofer plays the bass drum much louder than the electric bass notes. The electric bass notes always seem a little drowned out, and I'm thinking that it is b/c the speakers that i have up front are not that good of quality and i guess that they cant handle the midbass to well. Is that right? In rock music are the electric bass going to be playing predominately on the front and rear speakers or on the subwoofer?

depends on alot of things. like what you have your lpf set to and what the speaker's limits are. the kind of amp running with the sub and the hz going to the sub. every once in a while i play rock on my sub it sounds pretty good i have my lpf set around 200-250 something in there.

50-250 is a huge range. That's over 2 octaves. What kind of subs and speakers do you have?

i think the highest you should put your lpf is up to 125hz.

any higher and the subs will sound really weird.

For imaging purposes, you typically want to cross subs over in the 50-80hz range. Then a shallower slope on the components in the 100-125hz range. The cabin gain of the vehicle and the rolloff of the drivers will produce a flat response.
