So by now I have nailed down the cause of my speaker noise. My deck seems to be putting out a dirty signal I have found this because I have feedback coming from my speakers connected to my deck but also the speakers connected to my deck. I can hear a slight clickng/poping sound coming from my tweeters I an wondering if this could cause damage to my speakers?

 

Tweeters are usually the first to go if running them into distortion. What equipment are u running, what kind of vehicle, where is the volume and bass levels on factory deck when u run into "clicking and popping"?

 

here is my system:
front speakers are energy (not shure of model) 5.25 components rated 100watts MAX (not rms)
powered by alpine v-power mrp-f300 bridged out to 150w RMS each (i know its over the MAX but they have taken it for 4 solid months)

rear speakers are deck powered

sub is alpine type r slim
powered by jbl 601.1 @4 ohm 424rms

 

The tweets may mave just had enough and been victim of thermal overload. Most speakers will take more power than rated and will still sound fine, but thermal damage can occur if overpowered for an amount of time. I'm betting this is what happened.

Did this setup sound fine until just recently?

 

what are you listening too? I have found that MP3 CDs when worn cause many read errors that the deck error correction cant handle. Even newly burned wav cds have caused clicks and pops in tweeters . I found this when using a test tone burned CD with wav files to set up my system

 

my tweeters made this sound before, just much worse than this due to higher power and more volume, i figured i burned my tweets so i replaced them and turned my gains way down and listen at lower volume but i still have this poping/noise feedback issue while playing songs and while pausing playback with volume turned up. i am also playing music off a usb drive so i cant see how it could be a media issue
