Tuning / EQ question

[scadiz]

CDT CL 62 set on Rockford p400.4

And

Soundqubed HDS300 15'' on crescender bc2000 in 4 cubes ported at 32hz

Just recently put everything together hand have the gains set pretty mildly, but have no idea how to tune the crossovers

The problem I'm having is slightcrackling distortion from the cdts, both from the mids and tweeters at high ish volume, but I notice it only distorts when the song "plays simple notes" if that makes sense. If there's a lot of different sounds , they don't audibly distort. Also, I have the stock speakers in the rear and they still play louder than the front, I have to fade to the rear through the deck by 3 or 4 to get a good balance between them.

My question is, I'm sure I'm not pushing them as much as they can handle... Why aren't they getting loud? Could the crossovers help me tune out the distortion? Have them all set pretty much in the middle right now.

Thanks

Put the high pass to around 80 hz and try that...are they breaking up because of they are getting too much bass?
