Speaker Popping!!!!!

[Tacoma05]

I recently installed 2 Rockford p3s4d12s run off of a hifonics hifi series 3000 watt amp, and I have 4 diamond d3 speakers running off a diamond d3 400.4 amp, I am not able to turn the bass up very high because my speakers will pop, just the rears, do I have too much power running to them, should I get new speakers or a smaller amp. Please help me out!!

Do you have a high pass filter of sorts for the speakers? Sounds like they are getting a full frequency range, speakers make weird sounds when they are playing bass.

blown? bottoming out? subsonic on? HPF on? should be at least 63hz depending on if its a 12db or 24 db octave. i keep mine at 63 at 24 db octave.

To be honest I don't know too much about tuning amps, but I have everything turned down and the amp is set on high pass, and they're not blown because they play fine at lower volume but I just get too much bass out of the rears

turn front gain and rear gain to about 25-33% up.

bass boost off

source - 4 channel.

have both high pass on full, and at inbetween 50 and 110.

okay?

Awesome that helps out alot, I'm gonna go see if that works, if only all instructions were as easy as those

no problem. for some reason i feel like you had it in 2 ch bass. which is sub freq iirc. so. you should be set. let me know if it works, out

It was on the 4 ch setting, I did everything you suggested and the rears aren't popping anymore but for some reason the fronts are getting more bass now, could I have the rcas hooked up backwards to the head unit?
