Dash Speakers Popping

[Knowmadic 10+ year member]

So I finally managed to get rid of the popping from my front speakers by eliminating the Y splitter and running my components off their own RCA's and hooking rears up to HU power for rear fill. Now all is sounding perfect except these pops that occur randomly from the dash speakers at all volumes.. These dash speakers are JL C2 350s running off of HU power (JVC KD-X40). Not sure whats happening since it's being powered by the headunit.

You are Clipping the Chit out of them..Id run to amped supply, and or throw some bass blockers on them, before they end up trashed!!!

How does it clip off of HU power? They handle 25RMS the head unit sends 20RMS. I'll probably invest in some bass blockers, and so I need to go find a 25x2 amp..?

Distortion/higher THD,low power@high volume, and the HU doesnt send 20 rms on a continual basis to the speakers,and is over rated.

Your headunit will not put out 20 watts RMS at all times, let alone frequently. It will typically range from 5-20 watts so to me it sounds like clipping
