I need some help troubleshooting a problem ive had with my comps.
System = kenwood 25th anniv. headunit, kicker kx250.2, and pg xenon 6.5 comps.
I am running a set of peerless tweets I got from madisound instead of the xenon tweeters. I liked the sound better.
Anyways the problem is that it seems like my mids are cracking or breaking up at the higher frequencies. I know its not the tweeters, definately coming from the mids. Ive got my xover on my amp set ~60hz, and have tried setting it everywhere from 60-150hz on my headunit trying to get them to stop cracking. Its only on certain songs at the same time. It always seems to be like during a guitar riff or something as it tails off... its driving me crazy. I deadened my **** outta my doors thinking it was a rattle coming from them, but that didnt fix the problem, adjusted xovers, set and reset the gain many times, no bass boost, no eq from the headunit, set it to flat and left the t\a stock. Also tried messing with it. no avail.
Any suggestions other than it being the recording of the track(s)? I suppose last thing to try is burning it as something other than a mp3 disc.
Im wondering if the mid isnt trying to play too high?
