update: still don’t know what’s wrong, but Kicker customer service is great. easy back and forth via email and they are sending me a pair under warranty

Got a wiring diagram of stock wires and yes harness I used inverted the wires. Flipping the wires didn’t help the distortion though. I guess the bass blockers weren’t doing anything before since they wouldn’t have been on the positive line. There are no markings for direction. I’m assuming they...

Question.. could it be the polarity is wrong? I wouldn’t expect the highs to sound as good as they do but I don’t really have much experience. I’m using a harness from Amazon and reading old reviews of the harness, I’m seeing some people say the positive and negative are switched

so that's the thing. I haven't had it above half way and keep the bass turned down in the tone settings because the stock system is so bad. Really confused and hope to be able to try these speakers in another car soon to see if they are damaged or if the head unit is sending an awful signal

seems fine. multimeter reading 3.7 for the 4 ohm speaker. someone on the bronco forum suggested perhaps the head unit is clipping? evidentially, the stock speakers are more sensitive than the kickers, so perhaps a volume of 15 (half way up) is higher than I'm realizing. does that seem like a...
