[QUOTE="acbent, post: 8525167, member: 671032"] Have discovered what I suspect is a damaged speaker. Maybe it's contributing to my amp protection mode. My driver's side 6.5" (Cadence) is seriously rattling and distorting even at lower volumes. Just ordered a set of Massive Audio LX6 2-ways. Likely a significant upgrade from the Cadence (which didn't sound so bad). Of course with my luck, immediately after buying the Massive Audio speakers, the Polk DXi651s went on sale. Oh well. I'm sure the LX6s will be an improvement. Also ordered a set of NVX silk dome tweets for the D-pillars of my van. I like my treble 360. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Here are the new speakers. I picked them up from a well-known car audio website for just under $45.00: [URL="https://massiveaudio.com/products/lx6-co-axial-speakers"]https://massiveaudio.com/products/lx6-co-axial-speakers[/URL] I still plan to run a dedicated power wire for my Clarion as recommended by Jeff. I do have a quick question about the 6dB crossover that comes with the LX6 speakers. Would it be silly to skip installing the crossover and wire the speakers straight? I'm only running 50watts per channel and rarely crank it up past 1/2 - 2/3 volume. These speakers seem fairly robust and may be able to handle the full range. I'd hate to lose any low end. Thanks!
