Alpine SPS-170A help I bought these speakers about two months ago and wired them up using the stock wiring and harness so I could just plug it into the stock harness in the door. I sodered everything together and put them in and they play fine when the volume is low but anytime I turn it up at all to a somewhat decent volume, the right speaker crackles and sounds like its blown and the left one will do it on occasion as well....I just want to make sure I wired everything up okay and its not that first before I know its shitty speakers. Does anyone have a good picture on how they wired theirs up and if they are having any problems with theirs at a somewhat decent volume. Everything else in the car is stock monsoon, including the head unit. I checked for pictures in the sticky but most are old so they dont open...

You should only be using 1 pair of wires per door.
The distortion you hear at high volumes more than likely isn't your speakers, but distortion created by the factory HU (assuming 1 pair).

yes, everything else is monsoon, I blew both my door speakers and so I replaced them with the Alpines and now when I turn it up, they distort like crazy. I used the stock harness and hook up so I am only running that setup (the two black and two red wires). I know that changing out the stock head unit will help out the sound but do you guys think it will help that much? Anyone have a pic at all?, I can post one of mine later when I get home and maybe you guys can tell me if something looks out of place.
