If not then look into the installation as there should be no problem with them breaking up unless there is a problem with the speakers, ie manufacturer defect. There are many other things to look at than just saying its the speakers fault. Look at the installation even if a shop did it, look at the HU settings and if you are using the PEQ look at the settings you have for it. The ES drivers aren't that great as a midbass driver. As a dealer for the CDT i would suggest changing out the ES drivers for the M6 driver which is better in a midbass(3way) setup than the ES-600. PM me if you have questions about CDT products. sales@alteraudiousa.com |
