Default Rough tuning - 1st videos

Finally took some videos. Tuning consists of setting the amp gains, playing with cross overs and EQ in the DSR-1. Really struggling with the EQ. The 6x9's are set flat right now and I have no idea if I have any of the other pairs even close. I used the AHB article to set the 8's. They sound decent but aren't as loud as I was hoping they would be. It could I'm completely under powering them.

DD VOB3's - Chan 3&4 xd400/4v2
Crescendo UN65's - Chan 1&2 SD800.4
Hertx HCX690 - CHan 3&4 SD800.4
PRV 8MB500NDY 8 ohm - Parallel bridged on chan 1/2 xd400/4v2
RF DSR1

Any feedback welcome

Thanks Mike.

I should add that nearly everything in this system was purchased off forum members. I appreciate everyone's help.

For starters most of Ice Cubes old or new recordings on disc or Bluetooth aren't very clean. Just about any other group if downloaded at the correct bit rate will sound better than Cube.
