Type S, 2 Way SPS600 (What Is H Double E LL )

I recently installed these comps in my front doors on a Chevy cobalt lt in place of the stock speakers. Ever since installing them my bass levels on my car have become distorted. I blew my back pioneer speakers cause of this and now the bass is distorted on the front speakers. Please help guys?! Is the ohms on these speakers not compatible w/ the stock head unit or what?!... I don't want to blow these ones too but I think there being under powered or something!?!

check out the bass level on the head unit to see if its not up keep it low. and what about the cross overs on the components how did u set those?

The bass on the stock HU is in the middle... With the stock front comps I use to be able to turn it up all the way with no distortion. After putting these in I get distortion below the middle setting, it's very bamboozling lol. No cross over... Stock hu doesn't have that pre-sett... i Think there being under powered... A stock hu is what 15-20 watt rms and these are 80 watt rms...

The Crossover on the speakers, not the head unit. If it is a component set, there should be a crossover, so you can set the HPF and LPF on the woofer and tweeters.

no i meant the crossover on the comps not on the hu. and distortion is when u turn them up to a level where the speakers do not perform efficiently at aka when they have TOO much power not when they are under powered.

Cross over on the comps? I sliced the stock wires in the door and wired the positive lead to the positive and the negative to the negative lol? Did I miss something? And there shouldn't be any distortion even if the stock hu's bass was turned all the way up. There wasn't on the previous speakers and they were some paper cones made in Mexico lol. Now even with the bass turned half way up and not fully I get distortion.. But whats this cross over you speak of lol?
