As the title says I'm getting absolutely horrible break up near the top end of my 6.5" RSD woofers. It's coming on right around the 1k and up range, peaking right around 2k and absolutely killing my sound.
I've had these exact speakers in my old car (Regal) in doors that were not treated and they didn't exhibit any of this breakup. The doors in my GTI are much more solid, and I'm using the exact same baffles I was in the Regal, made of 3/4MDF. My crossover points are the same as they were, 80Hz-2KHz for the 6.5's and 2.5KHz and up for the tweeters. Also, I've tried EQing the higher end of the 6.5's down a bit and it's not really helping. It's almost like the break up isn't volume or EQ dependent, but rather a constant.
I'm beginning to suspect my gains. I just did some very small adjustments to them last night and I think I may have brought the drivers into clipping. Any other suggestions to fix this problem would be GREATLY appreciate. Quite honestly, I'm at a loss for why it's happening.
