[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 584117, member: 556589"] Your HU's amp is probably distorting. Mainly because the speakers RMS is at 60watts and your HU's RMS is at 22watts. The peak on the HU is only at 50watts. So at your HU's peak, you're still underpowering the speakers. When you hit peak power on an amp, it sends little spikes of voltage up the lines which in turn translate to distortion, and in many cases if these spikes last long enough and happen alot they can cause irreparable damage to the speaker. Look into getting an amp that has an RMS at around 60 watts up to 85 or so. And that would be to each channel. [/QUOTE]
