Sometimes its the glue they use to assemble them.

But usually that only occurs when the speakers are newer.

Your probably clipping the signal from the head unit and in turn its building up heat quickly.

If they are not damaged it would be best to keep the volume to no more than 3/4 way or/and add a decent amp.

Yeah these Kicker 5x7's are new, it mabey the glue because it doesn't smell like they are frying but it is a strong smell. I don't really want to pull them out because they weren't cheap and I would have to get someone else to do it because the door panel would never be the same if I tried to pull it off. I really just want to add more speakers because the one pair alone just won't get the level of sound and quality I want.

You would be amazed at the difference in sound if they were amped...

Would my Kicker IX70.2 be too much for them or would they sound louder and clearer?

That should be fine. Louder, clear at high volumes yes.

That would be sweet, now I need to run a turd pile of wires. Now how the heck am I going to run the power to the 5x7's? Would it even make sense to try and use the same wires that are already run through the doors or would the gauge be too small?

feed a coat hanger (wire) through the rubber boot in the door and tape your NEW speaker wire to that and pull it through. make sure you unwind the coat hanger first. i have seen someone try and stick the whole thing through.

Oh, yeah I forgot about the wire trick. I used to take the intenna off of my mustang and feed it though the tricky spots. Thanks.

what year mustang? i just did it on my 91gt

It was a white 92 LX hatchback, it was only a 2.3L but I could still get it up to 220km/hr which is 130mph. It was a great car and I had a lot of fun with it. Plus It was a great car for a system, the hatchback sure helped the stereo thump.
