hey guys, just puting a set of these http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...p;idproduct=232

with a old sony 6 channel amp that has no controls bar 4/5/6 channel selctor.. The problem is the woofer cuts and crackles at high volumes and generally sound pretty cheapo, worse than the old speakers.

they are 4ohm, is there a special wiring procedure?

also on max volume, i hardly have volume and cannot find a way to change it, it is a Clarion DXZ766 DVD HU one of the top HU in the 2006 range.

thanks guys!

Find the gains and crossover settings!! you need them!

they HAVE to be there, well at least the gains do, never seen an amp without them.

You need to dial your gains in to that clarion deck, and set the crossovers to play the frequencies those speakers want to see.

Without those two settings, things can go BOOM.
Over-engineering is FUN
