Ahh yes, I forgot about how sophisticated the Xover on those Germ sets were

In THAT case...you could get stuff leveled out nicely...Ill give you an idea of what I would do in this situation, you may or may not think its that great lol.
Anywho, this would require (Im asuming the amp can do this) running the left mid and tweet off say the front channels, and the right mid and tweet off the rear channels. Now you would have to rearange your RCAs on the amps inputs for this to work right, so the correct channel is getting the correct signal.
Now, what I would do is DECREASE the gain on the RIGHT side drivers (the rear channel in this example) Decrease it so the right mid sounds the same level volume as the left mid.
But now your right tweet is going to be even quieter than the left tweet, so you will have to use the level setting on your left tweeter crossover to try to make it the same volume with the right tweet according to your seating position.
Clear as mud right???

Or maybe your right tweet will be louder than the left and all you have to do is decrease the gain on your right side drivers and be done.
Im betting the left tweet will be louder though just because of the new position up on the dash.

You may have something there, cause the Eclipse XA4000 being used on the Germ does have a set of preouts to feed another amp, could get front left and right signal to feed the XA5000 IDQ6 ch from it....

Cool Block, shows Voltage and Amperage on each output... fuse holder does to which would be total load....
I got a great deal from a guy on CA.com on all that or I would have never got it...

did you get what I was talking about on the XA4000 having a set of preout??
I can feed them to the left and right bridged channels on my XA5000 to power the ID6's midbass...that way i'm getting the signel from my front rca out on the HU....
Make sence, clear as mud... ???

Man love the goodies your getting. Right will be quieter due to distance so increase the levels on the right side over the left. I would LOVE to hear it. And also increase your midbass to about 1KHz. It will provide with a bit higher sounds and will also help to integrate with the tweeters better. = Less work from tweeter = Better Sound.
