[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8683218, member: 574798"] I can’t comment on the popping noise but I seriously would not use test tones for an active setup. For passives or for the sub I can understand, but not for active speakers. They are way more sensitive to the power you give em. You need to be far far away from clipping. I suspect your gains are way too high. Start over again at 0 gain and do it by ear. It will take hundreds of tries but you need to be patient. Find where your headunit clips first and take advantage of all your pre-voltage. Start very conservative on your crossovers and slowly meet half way until you are happy. It’s a learning process. And before you sent out your amp for warranty, did it pop before? [/QUOTE]
