If i have an amp pushing my speakers and when i turn my gain up about 3/4 and it distorits. Is the only possible reason it would do this is because i'm pushing more then the RMS or does high gains cause distortion?

Clipped signal causes distortion so does a blown speaker

There not blown, if i got some components instead of the coaxils would i be able to push them harder with no distortion or are the speakers always going to get a clipped singal at 3/4 gain.

Usually components have a higher power handeling.

You might be sending your speakers to much wattage as well as to much bass

alright, i'll change the cross over until i can get some components. Thanks for the help.

That should help the situation.

Your welcome

If your sending a clipped signal, there is noting you can do but turn the gain down

On another note, does anyone know the color for ground on head units (alpine) ?

Ground is almost always green? Don't quote me on that though....

Thank you. I'm in the process of regrounding my head unit as we speak. Trying to get rid of that alternator whine. Should 18guage be an ok ground size for the H/U?
