[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8729170, member: 614752"] Seems that by process of elimination your amp is producing the distortion, but that shouldn't be happening with even flea market brand amps these days so I have no theory on this apart from some manufacturer defect or fault in the amp. Tweeters out of phase won't harm equipment and often it helps. The more drivers you have in different locations the more complicated it becomes acoustically speaking to get all the sound waves to hit your ears at the same time and in phase, and a car is far worse than studio, concert hall, or home where we have better flexibility in positioning and more symmetrical environment (room). Usually less is more when you're trying to pull off good sound stage and dial in a smooth response but the tradeoff is that adding another set of components on more power is an easy way to get 6dB gain. Depending how picky you are about sound this shit can drive you absolutely buggy so don't get discouraged and don't try to tweak/play for extended sessions and fatigue sets in quickly and you won't be making good decisions after sitting and testing for too long in one sitting.
