about to get a smal sub this week, my mate says that in his car the sub and 6x9s work against each other and fight for air so it sounds crap? i dont know if this will be the case in my car but if it is, would adding a port or 2 in the shelf help at all?
cheers

run a filter on ur 6x9's if u plan to keep them so they dont get bass!!!
just use em for rear fill wi higher frequencies!!!

can this be achieved just from the EQ settings on my HU or would this need to be done via an amp?

u can do it by putting the gain or bass boost up on the amp (if it has it - most good ones do..) that's drivin the sub - and just leave the head unit on low bass - or whatever setting u like. i am running 2 6x9's in the back and use them for mid and high frequency, with a sony 12"p5 sub underneath em.. but i have my 6X9's runnin from 1 side of an 800watt amp - 200watts goin to each speaker.

perhaps his speakers are out of phase? i agree it sounds crap though, when my sub is in the car i just unplug the 6x9's and plug em back in when i take it out ( which i do quite a lot).

i have no bass goin to my 6x9's have em runnin on the HPF of the crossover on one side of the amp so i don't need to unplug em - if ya have the 6x9's runnin from the head unit, i can understand why u would wanna disconnect em.
