Okay so i have the Rockford Fosgate T2 6.5" Components. When i installed them i sort of (Thought i did anyways) realized i didnt like aluminum dome tweeters because they sounded harsh...Well today playing with my HU balance, i switched from left to right and noticed the left sounds fine, but the right one just hurts my ears and sounds awfully harsh and scratchy..... so i guess i need to figure this out cuz its KILLING ME INSIDE. Please feel free to help in anyway! OH BTW i have messed with the -2, 0, and +2 dB, and the on/off axis and nothing has helped.

Sounds like a bad speaker, try switching them and see if you get the same result?

Has it done it since install? If it has it could be maybe a bad wire somewhere? Also as bcbrassard said, bad speaker, which would be weird since it's a RF power. Maybe it could have got blown? Any more details that you can think of, such as amp its running off of, rca, etc.

Also you could have a bad speaker.

Always test your gear before installing it :)

Yes it did do it when I first installed them. I never realized it was just the right side though until today i had always thought it was both... Running off of a Coustic Power Logic 360. Old school, great SQ amp... See, i thought it stopped for about a week (a month ago) but then again i never really turned it up that loud and now im noticing it alot! I re did ALL of my wires with 16 gauge NVX wire, (good shit). So i know its not a wiring issue because i just double checked them today. Lol

Well...i did test it but im REALLY not comfortable with turning my shit up full tilt before AT LEAST a week to them being played on low-medium volume. So i never really noticed it.
