[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8894167, member: 683408"] Does your head unit have EQ or crossover settings? Try reducing the amount of bass going to your main speakers. Make the cutoff appropriate for the speaker size (i.e. a 6.5" speaker might produce 40Hz, but it will be a a useless level. Many start dropping off as high as 100Hz). Two benefits: 1) You're not making the speaker physically perfrom beyond its limits. 2) You'll be using less power, which reduces the likelihood of clipping (where the AC waveform literally gets "sheared", becoming DC, effectively shorting out your voicecoil/s).
