use a high pass filter on front speakers.. start it around 100-120Hz and see if it helps.
go 12dB or steeper for the Q.
if this is run on the head unit, the head unit may be causing distortion above about 3/4 volume and that'll blow fuses and damage speakers.. and you're probably hearing distortion.
If this is with an amplifier, check the gain level, and see if that HPF helps.

OKay as i've stated in other threads (which were derailed), i'm having a problem with my front speakers, when the fronts start to play bass, sometimes they'll distort and make a sort of "poping" noise. eventually theye cutoff and once or twice this has blown a fuse. Now i'm thinking this is a wiring thing, but if i added a crossvover to the front speakers to stop it from playing the bass frequencys, do you think this would help anything?

Oh, and for the record, i do have the FIE (front image enhancer) activated on my deck.

edit: an dwhat would be a decent alternative (pricewise especially) to an optima redtop for my starter battery? would i see any gains if i added this, so i could upgrade my system some? i wouldn't mind seenig myself running about 600w on my car. I'm thinking a RE SE 10", just one of em! mainliy looking for gains in SPL while still maintaining decent SQ I need mooorrree lowend!
