I've got two new (2 weeks old) Rockford Fosgate 6X9s in my eclipse wired to a Dual 60W X 2 RMS Amp (340 watt 'peak'). The speakers handle 75 RMS a piece so this shouldn't be an issue for them. I also recently installed (within days of the speakers) A Rockford 15" Sub with 300 watt RMS Profile Amp.
Now I seem to be noticing from distortion from one if not both of the 6X9s (or rattling possibly). I can't figure out why. I adjusted the gain correctly on the amp, so im not over-gaining it or whatever. However, I am wondering if the power cable for my amps could be interfearing with the speaker wire? I made note not to run the RCA cable on the same side as the power cable, however it does come extremely close to my speaker wire. I also used the speaker wire that came with the speakers, which i think is like 20 gauge, its extremely small. Would that do it?
I'm hoping the speakers aren't blown, but how the hell could they be, I don't crank it, and they aren't being over powered. Thanks for your input.
