Lower the crossover frequency on the amp and or turn the gain/frequency down.It will never be perfect running a converter from a factory deck, But it should still sound good. Part of the trouble is the factory systems bass and treble controls are marginal at best and you may find that you will have to have the treble up and the bass down to get good sound. Your problem is also that you have subs running 1600 watts and a head unit for mids and highs running maybe 10 or 20 so the bass is overpowering. My first reccomendation is check the crossover frequency as that is the most likely culprit. I used to have 2- 10" subs hooked to the factory deck with a converter and amp and expierenced the same problem. I then bought a Kenwood Excelon head unit and wow what a difference. Since then I changed to 2 Infinity Kappa perect 10 subs, Kenwood Excelon 401 mono amp, Infinity Kappa 6.5" component speakers with a Kenwood Excelon amp up front, Kenwood 4x6" speakers with a Kenwood amp in the rear and a 1 Farad capacitor with four gauge power cable from the battery. Total system is 900 watts RMS and man does it sound good.
