noise from new speakers

noise from new speakers

i was listening to a cd on the way home from the gym today and all of a sudden i started hearing this noise from my rear speakers that sounded like little ticks, or somethin comparable to marbles dropping but quietly, or the sound of a spark kind of. this scared me because these are brand new 6x9s so i thought maybe its the song and changed the song same thing. then another song and same thing. then i switched to the radio and it was gone. i turned hte volume up on the radio and still none of that noise. I never checked to see if my front speakers were doing it too. My head unit is not very good quality and is actualy kinda broken. maybe the cd reader is causeing this noise? n e 1 have an idea why i heard this noise?

my speakers are 40watt rms and my head unit powers 50x4 max. and its not a very good head unit so im thinkin 10-12 rms maybe? do u think i need an amp. is this output of power too little for these speakers?

Was it like a popping sound? Did you only hear it when you turn up the volume? If it was than you are clipping your speakers. The reason why you can only hear it on the CD is because CD tends to be louder than radio. I bet if you turn up the radio high enough than you will hear it.

Clipping is nothing that you want. To get ride of it get an amp. I recommend a 4 channel amp since you have 6x9 in the rear.
Did you replace your front too? If not I would suggest you replace your front while are at it with buying the amp.

no i dont have rear speakers and i guess ill get an amp. My friend is selling a pyramid 2 channel 600 watt amp. 300 per channel. or one of these http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?icatid=303&stk_code=powxl2120&svbname=309
amps that gives me 35 rms 2 channels.
im not looking to spend alot on an amp for these speakers. just enough to power them.

power acoustik, pyramid, legacy,and pyle amps all suck

U get what u pay for when buying those types of amps

I would get something like mtx, RF, Alpine, PPI, or Kenwood
But what ever u do..................................


DONT GET SONY XPLOD AMPS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8)

i really dont want to spend alot on an amp and i need such a small amount of power. so i dont kno which amp to get and spend under 50. id just need like a 1 channel amp thatll give me 40 watts rms @ 2 ohms.

also how can i hook up a 2nd amp when i only have 1 rca preout? can i use a Y cable?
