[QUOTE="DirtFarmer, post: 7684716, member: 638613"] Silly and general question? I recently installed Alpine Componets SPR-60C and a 4 channel amp Alpine MRP-F300. The amp puts out 50 rms watt max and the speakers can take 110 rms watt max...can I blow these speakers with this amp? The reason Im asking is I'm having problems. I hear a crackling in the speakers when I turn them up. They sound amazing and loud until i reach a certain volume level then they sound like ****. I have the gains at about 50% right now on the amp, when I hooked them up the gains were at 80%....ouch. So im wondering if I blew my speakers. Im planning on taking them out this weekend and bench testing them, I have a feeling some of the crackling im hearing may be rattling from the car doors, at least I hope so. These things have me very frustrated. I've been tuning the system a ton and I do get it to sound better but I'm not satisfied with then at the moment. Also, some songs I can't hear anything wrong and others I hear the crackle. Ive tested my ipod in another system and I dont hear the crackle so I know its not my ipod. the entire system is new. kenwood KDC-x696 Alpine MRP-F300 Alpine SPR-60c Alpine Type r 6x8 co-axel (not installed yet) JL Audio Slash 500/1 JL Audio 12"w3v3 power wedge box I know Im a noob and should probably get professional help, I would just like to see if I can resolve this before I pay someone else to do it.
