Recently i have installed some Rockford Fosgate 6.5" T1652 in my front door's. When i have my system bumping the right door speaker pop's. I turned the sound all the way to the front and cranked it up and it sounds fine. Turned it all the way to the back and sounds fine. The only time it pop's is when the sound level is equaly distributed between front and back. The only thing that i could think of is maybe the RF 6.5's are a differant impedance and is interfering with something in the stock amp?

What is the deal here?

very nice choice in speakers! ;)

whats your whole setup looking like?
wiring, amps, speakers from front to back?

check the connections on the speakers themselves

as for it popping you could be clipping them some how..
when you have it faded to the back not as much power is being sent to the front speakers hence why it doesn't pop

Whole set up is clarion head unit (dont remember modle number) door speakers is what i said still have the stock amp hooked up for the doors, sub amp is power acoustik 1920 watt have 1/0 ran for all the amp wiring and engine wiring. Subs are 2 "12 Rockford fosgate P3's in a dual ported box.
As for having the sound faded to the back I know thats why it doesnt pop then,but i can fade it all the way to the front and crank it up and it sounds fine. The only time it pops is when all four door speakers are playing.

are u running them in the full range or just mids and highs or just highs? i had an old clarion deck in my eclipse and my speakers popped on occasion when i was running any sort of bass to them.. i later switched to a pioneer deh-6400 deck and i just ran high and mid frequencies to my doors \ rear deck and all was good from then on out... im not sure what custom eq settings u can get out of that deck but its worth a shot

always use the crossovers that came with the speakers and use the crossover settings in your HU I have mine set to 120hz but thats per Alpine at the very least set it to 80hz but NEVER send any type of sub bass frequencies to your mids otherwise at louder levels they will pop like you are describing.

mids are not meant to play much below 60hz

There is definantly no sub bass frequencies going to them. I think its wierd just the right one does it. Maybe tomarrow if i get board i might try by-passing the factory amp.

hmmm where is the stock amp located.. i havent swapped my stuff over into mine yet... one thing u might wanna try is see if its an actual speaker issue \ defect by swapping sides with the speakers since u said only one side pops. if that one side still pops then u know u might have an amp issue or wiring issue.... and it would be easier to do than bypassing the amp.... it would just be the first route i would take if i was in ur shoes....:hmm:
