You are clipping most likely. You've got the gain turned up too high on the amplifier, and/or too much signal coming from the HU/crossover or whatever - to the amp. Hard to see without an oscilloscope, but try just turning the amp gain knob down a quarter turn.

Might you have any carpentry skills? It's completely feasible to build your own box and put your own speakers in it. You end up much cheaper in the end for a bit of work. Best Buy is likely the most expensive place to buy something like this. http://www.sonicelectronix.com is very reasonable...

It's the same reason why you don't have more than one set of speakers running at the same frequency. The sound waves cause peaks and cancellations, and combine to form harsh sounding harmonics. Also as the drivers are not physically in the same location, the sound reaches you at different...

I thought you wanted sound quality? Again I thought you wanted sound quality? Well brands don't mean anything, but you are talking about consumer stuff here. Have you researched the drivers parameters and the amps specs to see how it will work in your install? Where are you crossing your...

Standby use indicates charging voltage that should be applied if the battery is used for - wait for it.... standby use. Such as in emergency lights, UPS's, etc. Essentially everywhere that there is a constant voltage on the battery. Cyclic use would be your car battery, which is charged every...

I've had the Pioneer REV TS-161Rs (6 3/4" coaxial "component" ) - it has a driver mounted crossover. Very unimpressed with that setup. I am installing Boston Acoustics SX65 and will report - but I'm not sure I'll like them either - I picked em up discounted quite deeply as it didn't include...

Hi all, I'm trying to install Boston Acoustics SX65 in the doors of my 2004 PT cruiser. It seems the door hole is just too big! I did have Pioneer TS-D161R's in there. THe trick to installing those was to use the "fork" style mounting tabs - the screw holding it was at the very edge of the...

My dad had one of those 999-II's in 1990ish. Helping with that install was how I cut my teeth in car audio. His got ripped off a year later in Miami.

Looking to install boxes underseat for 8" in a pt cruiser. Any shortcuts to the slimmest 8" speakers that could handle at least 50w RMS? These aren't for sub, but low fill.
