Why is it that I have polk speakers that can handle up to 100rms and 300 peak. I then have a 4 channel amp putting out 90 rms x 4. When I turn the volume up almost all the way I get distorsion in the speakers a little.

As for noise, anyone recommend noise filters?

 

I do, but turn your gain down you might make that distortion disappear. That and put bass blockers on your highs.

 

do the polks have a crossover? whats your crossover set at?

 

sounds like a gain issue to me. That, and the higher you turn the volume on a deck, the more distorted the sound will be. This is a blanket statement ofcourse, but for most retail decks its true.

 

I am not sure, had a local shop do the speakers. Where would they put them?

 

whereit sounds best to you.

Should tune your own system.....not everyone has the same ear.

 

Aint that the truth blazinloud, I just put a pioneer deck inmy blaze finally and my stock speakers now sound like crap lol. Time to change them out!!

 

If your deck has the option for it, turn off the built in amp, and that should get you a little bit of a cleaner output.
