I do plan on buying your upgrade speaker set. What Hz do you recommend setting the LP to with your upgraded speakers?
Ahh, I'm sorry I must have mis-read your post.

I usually recommend 80-100 Hz for the LP xover. It all depends on how it sounds in your vehicle. I've enver actually heard the xh108 without our Stage 1, so I cannot comment exactly where it should be with factory speakers, but 80-100 Hz would be a normal starting point.

And theoretically, yes, you could most definitely add a capacitor to your misbass speakers. However, the natural roll off helps them blend nicely with a subwoofer. If you are playing them at a high enough volume to need to worry about distortion from the bass in the music, I think you should be looking int an amplifier upgrade. Cap'ing the midbass speakers is really only a patch without power from an aftermarket amplifier, as the factory DSP amplifier is not enough power to over-excurt or distort the speakers with an un-clipped or un-distorted musical signal.
