Guys

This is my setup

HU : Clarion DXZ785USB
Amp : JBL GTO504 (50 x 4 at 4 ohms)
front : db401
rear : db690

only my rears are connected to the amp.front is directly connected to the HU.

i have been getting a cracking noise from the front speakers. this happens on any music having low frequency / bass . this happens if i put the volume above 17.
I suspect a defective speaker
(was like this since the beginning.but the installer blamed my earlier HU(an old pioneer) for this.)Last week i replaced the old pioneer with a clarion and still the problem persists.

i wanted to know, cant the speaker handle any bass at all or is it a defective product?

PS: all my products are still under warranty

Youre running out of clean power. Youre using a 4 channel amp - hook the front speakers up to the amp. That should solve your problem.
