[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8874336, member: 689267"] It may be that they act like this because they are underpowered and the push to play them louder is causing the amp to clip the signal, which will eventually blow your speakers if it hasn't already. Play them within the amplifiers range, don't clip the amp, don't play above 44 on the dial of the head unit, and fry the speakers. Your exceeding the capabilities of the amp, not the speakers. It may be counterintuitive but trying to play speakers louder than the amp is capable of driving them at is just as detrimental as overpowering them [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)[/URL] [/QUOTE]
