So I just recently upgrade to 2 RS plat 18s a few weeks ago .yesterday I got my new surge 10k and it seemed to work fine. When I went to adjust it and fine tune it today my speakers would make an awful sound when adjusting . I thought maybe one of my speakers was blown or a speaker wire had came loose. I pulled them out and the coils still look good and it alltested out wires were all hooked up correct .has anyone ever had this problem ? Thinking my amp could be faulty

Could be dirty potentiometers. Try doing full sweeps with the system off, then try it out.
This!! Ive had some of my older amplifiers do same thing from sitting up a while. Just hitting them with a swifter on the outside does very little for and dust accumulation on the inside. If your amplifier is under warranty... send it back. If out of warranty.. You can crack it open and do some cleaning. Dielectric spray works well.
