Speaker question
Hey guys. I had the stock radio switched to an indash gps which was eventually taken out due to a failed robbery. Now i have the Sony GT300 receiver. The problem that i have is that when i put the volume too high the speakers/sound starts to crack. possibly because of the treble. is there anything with the wiring that is wrong or is the receiver putting out too much power for the speaker? can i replace the speakers?

sorry to hear about the robbery.
speakers usually fail bacause of high bass input not treble. It just sounds like the treble because the frequencies are more audible.
usually the best bang for your buck speakers are infinities or whatever els you can find on ebay.

one common problem is that if you went from a system that had a factory amplifier then the speaker impedance will be lower than the normal 4 ohms that the radio uses. This will result in distortion at higher volumes. It could also be a shorted speaker lead and finally as noted it could be the bass is set higher than the speaker can handle...
