Looking for some help fine tuning my system. I'm getting a buzzing sound from the speakers at higher volume. Hope you can hear it in the videos.


System info..........


Kenwood x998
SS PN4.520
Speakers were recommended by a forum member. Not sure if he wants that info public. Here are their specs.......
4" 2 way, 3ohm, 60W RMS, 260W Max.


I have the x998 set very close to the recommendations from Bertk's post. Thanks for any info.

What r ur current amp settings?

X'over is on high pass and gains are about 1/3 of the way up

 

Try inching the freq up just a tad and block a little of that low freq that might be raising hell on ur speaks.

Try a use a song that has been displaying the most rattle or distortion.

Do I adjust that on the amp or the settings on the x998

 

Here's a different song. Hope it helps

 

Turn internal amp off, turn supreme off, run eq in manual mode flat and work it up or down as needed to get a slightly better sound, BUT I will flat out say if you have a 4" speaker which I believe was a mis post you will never get much out of it midbass wise and would run hpf at 120hz. If a 6.5" eun hpf at 80hz 18db and make sure amp is set in full or all pass.

 

Not a mis post. They are 4" speakers. Its a 1988 FLHTC. Believe me the are a tight fit too!! I'll set the hpf at 120hz and give that a shot. I'm sure all of the settings in Bertk's post were for 6.5" speakers.


BTW..........Plan on adding lowers with speakers over the winter. Have a extra channel on the amp. Might as well use it.

 

The x998 settings I posted are generic settings to get folks started. Each setup will differ and require adjustments. I updated the post to emphasize that.
