i got a pioneer head unit with pioneer 6X9s in the back, but i have the stock speakers up front on the dash, and when i play it loud, the speakers make a pooping noise, but not exactly a blown speaker noise... the area surrounding the speaker is plastic... im wondering if there is too much power being put into them or if their blown... i dont have an amp or sub in there at the moment either

your stock speakers take 10-12 watts, and your pushing 50? do you see something wrong here?

Can you play them at a low volume... and see if they sound OK?

If so... then they're probably not blown yet... but keep that up and they will be

Lenko is right. If you hear buzzing or fluttering at low volumes then they are toast. Almost all speakers will distort at the highest volume level. Check out the low levels instead.

But, no matter what you will have to upgrade at some point.

50 watts? no deck will do 50 watts, more like 8-12. but anyways, take the speaks out, get a multi meter and measure the impedence across the leads, if its not in between 3.2 and 4.1, they're blown. if you push the cone down and hear the voice coil rubbing anything, they're blown. also look for wear on the surround, if you are putting to much power to them, you will see scratchy lookin marks and that just means its hitting the grille, if its that case, just get a razor blade and start taking off a few layers of plastic on the underside of the grille where its hiting. might work...

dont be so cheap, and just buy some good need speakers up front!

What kind of deck do you have...lol thats prettyyyy low...like i know 50 is the "max" that doesnt really mean anything but all the decks i see are puttin out like 20-30~ rms

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

LOL

true ^ mine is 4 x 20 Watts RMS, 4 x 50 Watt...... so maybe a deck made in the 40's puts out 18 watts.... lol

naw guys.... put any deck on a bench and do a real test. first, you need an o-scope so that you can see the perfect point where there is no clipping, then the huge ass 4 ohm resistors, a power supply that'll do 13.8-14.4volts, and an ammeter to measure the current... im positive you will all be surprised.

think about it... if an amplifier that is measured 16"X12"X2" puts out a solid 50 wattsX4... how is a @!#$ty little deck amplifier that is measured 5"X1"X1" going to do the same thing? not possible. period.

4 x 6 speakers aren't going to handle much excursion and really need capacitors to block bass. If you tear into the door panels you might as well grab some particle board and fab up some adapters to put 6 1/2s in the doors.

I would recomend going out and buying bass blockers for your 3.5" dash speakers cause they handle no bass what so ever. It is very easy to pop them without even trying to. get the bass blockers put them on that should help with what your experiencing.

OK... So overall, here is your best bet. Quit trying to pound a bunch of bass out of your interior speakers. That is not what they are for. Go by some new front speakers, they don't have to be anything spectacular, then go buy an amp and a sub for the bass. Turn down your "bass" and your "low" settings on the deck, and turn up your subwoofer setting. That wayu you can use the interiors for highs and your sub for lows. End of problem. By the way, you don't have to spend extreme amounts of money on subs and amps. If you are just used to the bass from stock speakers, then getting a cheap sub and amp would still be a big step for you. As far as whether or not they are blown, just go spend $20 on a new set of speakers, and dont use them for bass!
