Speaker help? stereo guru's

[jabartram]

I have the exact same speakers in my rear deck and my front doors, over this weekend my brother and i were doing some sound adjusting, pulling all the bass of the interior speakers. worked with the fronts, and am able to crank full volume, 35 on the volume scale they do get garbled, but i will adjust that out later, then we started working with the rear speakers, and at 32 they quit? until i shut off the system and turn it back on, so i swapped channels to make sure it wasn't the amp, it is the rear speakers, is it besause they are basically running free air? being in the rear deck? when they quit all i hear is a little crackling. they won't come back on when i lower the volume, i have to shut it off. i'm getting ready to purchase 2 sets of polk db6500's do i need to create an enclosure for them like the doors have? any advice?

Hmm, nobody huh?

whats your audio layout? sounds to me you might blown them. i know on my system.. my max volume with the amp on the speakers is 24/25 out of my 35 max volume. maybe too high distortion at high volume. Did you swap the front channel wiring to the rear section of the amp and vice versa to see what works still?

It sounds like you could have blown the rear speaks, their usually the first to go. I know when I blew my rear deck all I heard was static. My components were loud as hell, I had to fade the sound to the rear of my car to hear anything at all.

my layout consists of Kenwood excelon KDC-X889, kenwood excelon 1600 watt sub amp, kenwood excelon 960 watt 4 channel, 3-10" fosgates 500rms, 1000watt peak, 4 memphis 6.5's 50rms, 100watt peak, 4 kicker r13 tweeters. i'm going to do some amp adjusting, 5v preouts, my amps are set a little to high, yeah i swapped front to rear channel, same problem in back. when i put the polk db 6500's in i'm gonna put enclosures in the rear deck.

sounds like the rears are blown. You shouldn't need enclosure for door speakers. your running the 4 kicker r13 tweeters inline parallel with the 4 door speakers? if so your dropping the ohms down to 2ohms which is increasing the power of the amp. hence prolly why the speaker blew.

the enclosures will be for the rear deck. and yeah, the entire system is runnung at 2ohm.

I agree sounds blown...the crackling can't be good...and ICETONE...git rid of the gay shit


Edit* Thank you ICETONE

i agree, take it off, and you dont necessarily have to get enclosures for your 6x9s unless the sub is bottoming out your cone. and how are you running the speakers to a 2 ohm load from a 4 channel amp? did you bridge front and back and make them act as left and right? If so, you're probably over powering all the speakers...
