[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6331331, member: 549629"] There is no such thing as too big of an amp, as long as the gains can be adjusted down to adequately limit output. In fact, many SQueers run overly large amps with the gains set artificially low on purpose, as this gives headroom to help with transient/peak response and helps lower the perceived thd from the amp. Use a DMM to set your gains to the power output you want. A crackling noise concerns me. Many times that is the sound made by an already-blown speaker, not necessarily one that is simply being overdriven but not blown yet. Try to determine if the noise comes from the mids or tweets. And try adjusting the gain as described above. [/QUOTE]
