2002 Monte Carlo SS Aftermarket speakers problem?
Recently my stock speakers blew out and i went to get new ones. I bought some hooked them up and they seemed fine. Except for the fact i can only listen to it at a certain volume or else it gets all distorted. The stock speakers i had were great the aftermarkets not so much. I was wondering if it was a wiring issue or i blew 'em or what. Here's the speaker info.
FRONT-Pioneer - 6-1/2" 3-Way Car Speakers with Polypropylene Cones. Up to 220W peak power; 6-1/2" polypropylene cones; 1-5/8" paper cone midrange and 3/8" dome tweeter
BACK - Pioneer - 6" x 9" 3-Way Car Speakers with Polypropylene Cones. Up to 270W peak power; 6" x 9" polypropylene cones; 2-1/4" paper cone midrange and 2/3" dome tweeter
Help is gratefully appreciated
the problem is a lack of RMS (continuous) wattage
i had a 04' SCSS and it had the factory installed amp that was "200" watts (far from it), the sound is distorted because the amp is clipping
with car audio all you care about is RMS wattage not peak/max because they mean nothing at all, you need to get an amp with the needed RMS wattage to properly power your speakers because when they play distorted you are causing damage to them
If you send too much power to your speaker, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your speaker — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.
When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!
You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the speaker and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub
you will send the amp into clipping
Clipping
Clipping occurs when an amplifier is asked to deliver more current to a speaker than the amp is capable of doing. When an amplifier clips, it literally cuts off the tops and bottoms of the musical waveforms that it's trying to reproduce, thus the term. This introduces a huge amount of distortion into the output signal. Clipping can be heard as a crunching sound on musical peaks.
that causes distorted sound which will damage your speakers over time
