abxx49 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 The best thing you can do is buy an amplifier for your door speakers. It makes a HUGE difference. Is your bass up on your headunit? That could cause the distortion. (if you really crank it) Quote

(if you really crank it) i didnt even know they made amps for door speakers... lol just proves how knew i am at this, what would be a good one for cheap? my parents wont support my addiction to bass... lol Quote
abxx49 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 subs dont blow unless you clipped them to hell usually...or overpowered it alot. When you clip the signal you are just really overpowering your speakers. Over powering is the only thing that blows speakers. Quote

Do you have aftermarket door speakers? Do you want to amplify two channels or four? Quote

Guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 When you clip the signal you are just really overpowering your speakers. Over powering is the only thing that blows speakers. no, clipping is when the top and bottom waves of the sine wave get cut off, making the speaker stop for a short amount of time, creating DC current and creating vast amounts of heat. overpowering a speaker is just putting a true clean 1000rms to lets say, a 600rms rated speaker. there will be added heat, but if your smart with the volume knob, you shouldnt really have any problems.

abxx49 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 http://sundownaudio.com/504.html Take that amp for example. It's a 4 channel amplifer, so it has the ability to drive 4 different speakers. (You can do more with it, but that's just the basics.) Quote
MTX_Freak Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Posted January 15, 2009 ok, i see what you mean, i would probably like to get a 4 channel so i have have my back and my door speakers on it, i have a 2004 grand prix btw Quote

You are right about the cutting of signal, but it still over powers it. "Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven, which happens through attempts to increase the voltage or current beyond its maximum power capability. Driving an amplifier into clipping causes it to put out power in excess of its published ratings, which are customarily done with a "clean" sine wave signal just at the onset of clipping. This makes it a sometimes unexpected cause of loudspeaker failure." Quote

What is your budget for an amplifer? Quote
