then obviously, you need a low-pass filter.

can u provide more info? little confusing.. r u saying that ur interior speakers are trying to produce low frequencies that ur subs should be handling? or there is unwanted feedback/distortion?
Low pass filter would only help if the problem was reversed.. if the sub was running in full range mode(if u could here mids/high frequencies threw subs)

crap...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pass_filter

i always get them mixed...

from what i'm reading, it sounds like his normal, full-range speakers are trying to play frequencies that are too low...

so, high-pass would be the ticket if that'* the case.

They distort and crackle, It only does it sometimes though. I mean maybe its not my subwoofer signal cause it does it without the subwoofer level up, but it just started doing it when i put this system in it never did it with my last system.

Just make sure that your wires are ran on the opposite side of the car. Your 99 has the battery up front, so run a power wire on one side, then the RCAs and Remote on the other. It helps to reduce that feedback sound. Also, if your amp or cd player has LPF, you can turn that on too.
