[QUOTE="LongThrow, post: 8297034, member: 661351"] I have a Kenwood KDC mp238 with pioneer 5 by 7 in the front I have no clue what's in the rear fills I haven't checked probably stock speakers I own a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT. I also have a 10 inch kicker comp in a truck box and a Sony Xplod XM 502z for my subwoofer. The subwoofer is rated at 150 watts at 4 ohms in the amplifier says its rated at 125 watts X 1 at 4 ohms. Using scosche 8g Amp kit. My problem is that my speakers become distorted when bass frequencies are played through them making my meds in my highs also sound distorted and dirty if i cut the bass frequency out of my head unit it helps the door speaker problem but takes bass away from my subwoofer. Also in order to get a good response from my subwoofer the gin has to be around 60 to 75 percent with the volume turned near 25, when my head unit max is at 35 I have no high pass filter on my head unit or else that would probably solve the problem for my door speakers. I was told on this forum that my door speakers distort because my head unit does not have enough power however my friend has a civic with the same door speakers as I do powered by a head unit and they do not distort like mine do.also the friend I am talking about was the previous owner of this sub an amplifier it sounded great in his car with no problems. So and order to fix my problem I would have to get a separate amplifier for my door speakers or buy speakers with low enough rated power to be powered by my head unit without distortion unless there is any other option.
