Speaker Problems?

I was wondering if anyone has had problems with their speakers cause mine sound crackly and they better not be blow cause I don't put the music up too loud. The thing is you can only hear it on certain songs I have but I don't think it's the song cause I've played them in a Jeep and no problems. So let me know if this might be a common problem.

they are prone to goin bad. The funny thing is I have a friend that has a balt and she blown her speakers twice. ALL of them. We replaced them under warranty for her. But, I had a Rockford Fosgate T5002 hooked up to my factory speakers in my yellow balt I had for almost 2 years and it never crackled a bit. That amp puts out just about 600 RMS per side when hooked to 1 ohm.

Odd isn't it.

The speakers don't operate well in cold conditions. Did you let your car warm up for 30 minutes with the radio off and then try it?

fyi the vocie coil of the speaker should work better in the cold then the heat. Excess heat is what actually burns the speaker (although there are several ways to "blow" them)

I heard that depending on the quality and engineering, running speakers near the teen temperatures and below may be problematic as it is below the operating temperature threshold. Example, optimal operating temp would be 32 degrees - 100 degrees, see what I am saying?
