[QUOTE="ogfallen, post: 8495299, member: 669691"] Alright so yesterday I bought and installed some new speakers for my Chrysler 200 (2013). The car has a 6 speaker setup with four 6x9's in the front doors and rear deck (I got Infinity Reference 9633cf's) and two 3.5"s (Polk DB351's) in the dash. I've had an aftermarket head unit for a bit now (Kenwood DDx272) and i never had any problems with the factory speakers. Anyways, I play music fairly loud and I noticed that after about 15 minutes of playing music at a high volume, the speakers will all quickly become quiet and extremely distorted. I thought that maybe it could've been the 3.5's not being able to handle the bass in my music, so earlier i installed the bass blockers that came with the polk speakers. But to no avail, the same thing happened after the usual 15. I've searched around and found no answers on why this is happening. Is it my head unit doing this? Do I need an amplifier? Any help would be appreciated on this one, thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
