Why Do My Speakers Sound Bad at High Volume? | Car Audio Q & A

[@fudge9544]

I might also have some insight on this issue that wasn't mentioned in the video, as I had a similar problem in my car with a Kenwood head unit and Rockford Fosgate speakers. My popping was only noticeable at high volumes, but I think it happened at low volumes also, but it just wasn't really noticeable. I am going to outline the troubleshooting procedure that worked for me. First, do what the video said. Check all your wiring, and make sure your EQ is flat, no bass boost, etc. It could definitely be the solution to your problem, however, it turned out to be a different problem for me, which is why I felt the need to comment. Second, fade your head unit to each individual speaker and see if only one of them is crackling/popping. If so, it is probably an issue with that one speaker. This also did not solve my problem, because the popping happened on all of my speakers. Third, try another mode on your head unit. Such as, if you are always using your iPod via USB, then try plugging it into the AUX input and see if the speakers still pop and crackle. If they stop popping when you do this, then the problem is with your iPod or iPod cable. This was the problem that caused my speakers to pop and crackle. Cleaning them both with an air spray can temporarily fixed the problem, but it eventually returned. I ended up just moving all of my music to a USB drive. If all of this fails, you may have an issue with the head unit itself, or you may just not have enough power to properly run the speakers, as mentioned in the video. Also, remember to never turn your head unit up past 3/4 of its max volume, because it usually introduces a lot of distortion into the music. Hopefully this was helpful, and if all else fails, take it to a professional and have them identify the issue.

I got a 400 Watt amp two 12s what does it mean when they sink in but bass still sounds good just just like to know if it's the way I hooked the wire hooked are what y'all think

[@Chris780]

Ya know, I come here for answers to my questions. Not social hour.

[@teamcynical725]

No shit

[@JuniorzProductions]

Another thing to add, he can fade the sound of the deck to filter more of the power towards the rear speakers (it's a setting I found to be useful) But definitely need an amp if the deck does not have a built in amp most after market deck amps that are 200 watt are 4ch which is 50 watt per speaker (saying there is 4 speakers total) best bet for power is a cheap 300 watt sub with a cheap amp for a average car stereo system. My information is based of personal experience, not expert experience.

[@bradnaylor]

I have a few Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS in a 1992 Acura integra... I also have 4 very low end Pioneer 6.5 inch 2 way speakers. I want to replace them for components up front, and some coaxial in the rear, since there's no tweeter holes in the rear. Maybe an amp too. really happy with the head unit, just want the mids and highs louder before I install a sub...

[@markuk7010]

I have a bowl of rice crispies and they're driving me mad... how can I make them stop.

[@everss02]

Sounds like a factory amp that needs to be removed. Same issue I had when I removed all the bose in my altima, remove the bose amp and all is well.

[@ionlybluffAA]

hey guys, question: speaker level calibration. how would i go upon setting the best speaker level or how would i properly adjust it manually..? thanks

[@TeeJay-ri1pl]

I just got some installed but litterally the same day the started sounding different. For about 30 mins they sound great cranked at max valume but after awhile the sound starts to sound fuzzy and volume decreases overall and gets echoed. Now I took the speakers back to get looked at n they sounded fine for both 35 mins but 5 mins after I pulled off the lot they did it again. Happens with all music rap,country,rock

[@tatsumaru12345]

Two things. If its what I think and its a rear deck? If you mount those 6x9s without the factory adapter straight on the metal, it'll cause it to pop and distort at loud volumes too. Found that out with my first car quick. Second, while you 'can' run speakers off a factory amplifier, I typically don't. You might be better off running new speaker wires to the aftermarket deck. Then perhaps upgrading to an external amp if its not enough.

[@glawton69]

Hey guys, I have a 2014 Silverado with a factory radio. I'm experiencing the same issues, but I have Infinity 6x9s, 6x5s, and tweeters. I also have two Rockford Fosgate 10" subs with an LC5i Pro. The system sounds good, except when I turn it up, then the popping starts.

[@koolkevin1107]

I purchased 2 amps for my car. A sony XM-1S for my RE SEX 12D4 and a XM-4S for my RF components. I ran a 4 gauge Monster cable from the battery into a distribution block and one 4 gauge goes to the xm-1s and one 8 gauge goes to the xm-4s. Is that power gauge enough juice to be running everything at its highest efficiency?

[@Sovereign_54]

I have a question. I’m sure you’re busy so I’ll try to provide all the info you would need here. Currently I’m using my stock Camry stereo. Non JBL package. JL Audio 400/4 amp. 4ohm. 75watts per channel. Kicker Component Set. 4ohm. 10watt minimum. 100w RMS. 300 max rms. Kicker component speakers, but the crossover was separated from the pair, as, according to the terrible installer I went to, it was pulling too much power from the woofer and causing it to be low volume. So the woofer was wired directly to the amp, and the tweeters were spliced in as well. So the amp is powering both. Without a crossover. My problem is twofold now. 1. My tweeters are distorting, they tried to remedy this by adding a capacitor. It’s not working. 2. My tweeters are much louder than my mid woofer. And I need to push the volume HARD to get my mids to really shine through the rest of the mix, and at the point my tweeters are distorting, and uncomfortably harsh. Plus, I know that without a crossover they’re likely to die. My plan is this. 1. Install an Alpine ILXW650. 2. Keep or remove the capacitor but, take that crossover that was intended for both speakers, and connect it in line AFTER the splice that connects the woofer and tweeter to the amp, but before the tweeter. I do this in the hopes that 1. The crossover works as intended, and will effect JUST my tweeters and 2. If it does in fact drain power, and I know a passive crossover does, then maybe it will bring the tweeter volume into balance with the woofers. Can you, or anyone else hear with knowledge advise if this makes sense?

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

Hey guys, I really appreciate your videos and i have a question. AMP= Kicker CX A1200 SUB= Kicker 10 inch L7 Solobaric Speakers= 4x Kicker 6 3/4 Ran well off of my normal truck battery but i was wondering about how long i could run it off of my new 120 AH deep cycle. Should i upgrade my alternator (I think it's over 100 amp) and do the big 3? Thank you again and have a great day.

[@jondoss7600]

check Abdou's post a couple down right on the money aftermarket HU's probably put out more power than a stock HU, which means it probably has an onboard amp that you are now daisychaining through a crappy old factory amp that probably is less powerful than the new HU or at best the same which is not a good idea ...test your factory amp by bypassing it: pull the new HU out of the dash, unwire your head unit from the factory harness (except for the power, gnd & remote) then run some temp wire directly from the HU unit pigtail to the speakers and if the 'rice crispies' are gone you now know what the culprit is

[@killer88901]

Omg.... It was the extra bass setting on my stereo, I turned it off and the popping stopped at all volumes :D

[@BoostedPastime]

killer88901 I've noticed that my "Loud" function makes it sound really shitty up high but with more bass. With it off it sounds fine it just has less bass

[@henrymcmanus5170]

I know this video is old but I installed a system in my 2003 wrangler and was experiencing the same issues with volume. By just removing bass boosting and adjusting hpf to 80 hz I instantly got miles more undistorted volume.

[@wulfclaw4921]

Thanks guys ! This gives me something to check on mine. It's an old carcass but the kenwood j980's used to really kick. Now I set it up. Pulled the left speaker (it had no bass) found a wire needed soldering on the woofer. Hooked it up. Now that speaker sounds great but the oyherbspeaket sounds like crap. Distorted..just crappy. So I checked all 3 inside it and everything looks to be all right. Wires are all connected. But it has a real crappy sound and I cant blast em like I used to. 😤

[@regstm3029]

2007 Impala LT (non Bose) I installed a new head unit and Scosche speakers all the way around, the front speakers are ran through the factory wiring, I had the back going through factory wiring as well but there was almost no noise in the rear speakers besides crackling static, I ran new wires to the back speakers directly from the head unit and that got the speakers to make a little bit more of clearer sound, I then installed a ground loop isolator which knocked out 90% of the static but now it's to the point where the front speakers are loud and bassy when they're not supposed to have that much bass and the rear sound like just treble.. confused and need help!

[@jody024]

long story short: Gain settings and component quality

[@timothypalacios9304]

Thank you so much for your time and info you share. Question, if I have component speakers that run 75 watt rms and it's only getting 50 watts rms from the amp, could this be considered underpowered? You spoke about clipping and distortion in this video and I am getting a little of both at different times in different songs. I'm just trying to rule out a few things to get it straight. Thank you again for your time. Tim

[@MrAmrmnabil]

I have no idea about some of the terms you used. Would you make a Car Sound System 101 crash course. Great Vid Thanks.

[@jo3rdchannel940]

Why my car sound distorting when i turn my bass knob on on high volume i have factory radio in my car and tuned it to -7.5db?

[@cweisberg6]

Hey I have a good question for you guys. And some people might want to know as well. When building a box for a sub, if I make the box bigger than what is recommended and don't have a lot of power will it make it perform/be louder? And or if I make the box smaller than recommended and have more power will it be the same outcome? (Keep in mind they will be tuned to the same hz, and the recommendation box size is 1.25 cf.)

[@jashley320]

I have 4 Rockford Fosgate 6x8 speakers and a Pioneer head unit in my 98 Ford Ranger. I tend to disagree about the loudness setting. At least on my Pioneer, the music sounds like crap with the loudness set to off. Better on mids. Best set to high. Also, I tend to keep a plus 2 on my bass boost. This is without a subwoofer and without an amplifier. I go from listening to Beastie Boys to stuff like Judas Priest, so you have to adjust the bass accordingly, but the loudness always needs to be set to high, otherwise it sounds muddy, as if there's no treble. I plan on getting a 70 watt Jensen amp. Might get Rockford's p300-10 powered sub, but with the mileage I'm at, I'm afraid of sinking too much money into it for where I'm at financially. The amp is a must though. Aftermarket HUs still disappoint compared to speakers.

check your battery, match the output of the speakers to your radio watts in rms, you may need a capacitor and amp.

I turned it up to around 20-23 and was nasty sounding. The new speakers i put in sound really bad. Could it be because the stock deck doesn't pump out enough juice for the speakers? I thought it my be the crossovers so I have those set at 0 on all 4 of them and still sounds bad. Sounds ok when it is played at low volumes. Thanks in advance.

What's up guys Just so you guys have an idea, I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze Eco w/base radio, kicker 350.4(07) going to image dynamics CTX 6.5cs door speakers. Passive crossovers were replaced with a "active" setup via minidsp and tweeters were replaced with seas prestige soft dome tweeters. I Also have a IDmax 10D2V3 powered by a Brutus 1200.1 Getting to the question now. My door dinger sound goes through the driver side door speaker. The fact that my doors are now amplified means that my door dinger is noticeably louder. My headunit has settings for a lower ding sound, but it's still too loud. Is there anything you could do to lower the dinging sound without negatively affecting the SQ of the audio.(obviously lowering the gain on the amp will lower the ding sound but that will also lower the output of the speakers) Gains are set below clipping as well. Thanks, Terry

[@mudkicker7812]

I usually start with loudness/bassboost off, set the eq to flat, then flatten the volume of the sub to the stereo. after that I put my HPF to 80 and LPF to 80, after that it's preference. I tend to set mine at 100.

I have a kennwood radio and jl audio speakers in all 4 doors with amp on them and subs with amp on subs. On the radio when you go to pro eq and you can go to bass or mid or treb and go to the setting that you can change the 125 to up or down in number what is this and what does it do? When i change it I don't hear a difference in sound.

I got some kappa 93ix I was recommended those as the best highest quality in their store and yes they are totally but then at a certain high volume they start sounding like the cheapest stock speakers, any suggestions? Would it affect the facts that I have not installed a speaker amp?

[@sharanpreet5559]
