[QUOTE="nosaj070, post: 444150, member: 546955"] Well No.....The problem is that 5.25 speakers cannot play the low frequencies you are wanting it to play. You really need a bass blocker or crossover to cut everything off below about 70-90hz. Also your HU could have something to do with it, but that is only when the volume is pretty close to the maximum that it would begin clipping. As far as which speakers are the best, I've heard the polks and they aren't bad, the Infinitys are about equal. JL does not make the best 6x9's, that just happens to be what the shop sells, and eclipse doesn't necessarily make the best 5.25s, they are trying to sell you their stuff. Ok, now I just read you have a factory HU...that could be a reason they are distorting, but if it isn't, it is because you are asking too much of the speakers, they cannot play low frequencies.
