[QUOTE="orinlboy, post: 6402819, member: 583939"] Currently: Old Alpine 9874 HU CDT ES-620 comps (running passive) Alpine PDX 4.150 Set fronts at nominal power on amp. HU volume goes up to 36, but only at 12 on certain songs, there's a farting noise coming from the mids. These speakers are suppose to take 150-200 watts. Are they dead? Am I giving them bad signal from the HU or amp? Any help is appreciated. I'm getting pretty frustrated. Either I don't know what I'm doing or there's a demon in my car. Nothing seems to sound good. Things sounded decent the first couple of years when I got the truck, it's gone downhill since then. I keep adding/upgrading and nothing seems to help. I just want to keep it simple. I'm tempted to upgrade again with new stuff, but I'm afraid of wasting more money.
