[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7684797, member: 541144"] A couple of things to consider... If you're pushing your amp beyond its limits so it's distorted it'll sound like crap. Push it hard into clipping, and yes you can damage the speakers. But the amount of power you can give speakers depends entirely on install variables and how low you want them to play. If you're hipassing them at 50 Hz and have the bass turned up they won't take anywhere near rated power. If your "crackling" noises are on bass notes like drum beats then this is probably the case.
