Swap RCAs around to isolate and also do a polarity check w a 9v battery.

I flip flopped left and right rca and the left still popped. I actually swapped the polarity at the amp and forgot to switch it back but it made no difference as far as the popping sound.
Just to make sure we are on the same page, did u completely swap the RCAs around or did u just move one end of the RCAs? Just want to triple check that u have attempted to isolate the RCAs, amp channels, etc and have truly nailed it down to the speaker.
Once you have isolated your RCAs to confirm they are not the issue, check your speaker wires aren't shorting out on anything, like maybe the speaker basket.

I just moved one end. I switched the RCAs at the amp end. So channel one of the dsr1 was playing through right side instead of the left but the left speaker still popped (I think). You got me doubting myself now, I will have to pull it back apart tomorrow night and try again.

I would think that would cause a constant issue, not just at a higher volume. I will check it when I pull it back apart though.

Sorry, just read your post again. I have not switched speaker wires left to right to see if the problem stayed with the speaker or moved. I will try that tomorrow also. Thanks

Well I tried it all and it still popped so I pulled the speaker and replaced it and popping is gone, so I guess it was the speaker. I never had a speaker test good and sound good at lower volumes but that is what this one did. Thanks everyone for the help. Sounds good now.
