Speaker popping
Getting everything dialed in, I had my eq on the woofers pushed up in the way explained in the AHB article. The left sounded fine, the right started to pop on big notes. I thought it was hitting the grill, so I changed them to the factory Pioneer grills. I notice at high volumes it's still doing it on the right. I flattened the eq and that helped a lot. I turned the subwoofer channel down -4 and they got rid of almost all of it. Is this a grill issue or speaker issue? Is it possible I have tightened the grills to the point that it doesn't allow the cone proper movement?

Sounds like you may have the speakers playing in the frequency range.

I'd bump them up to at least 75hz. My JL 880's claim down to 30hz but below 70hz at 200 watts they will stumble.
