How do you have them wired? What they crossed over at? HP? What frequency? What volts you set the gains?
The tweeter is 8ohm and the speaker is 4ohm. Not sure how you have them but that amp is only capable of 4ohm bridged.

That’s what I’m starting to understand is that this amp is not the right amp for those speakers so I think I’m gonna send them back and get the hertz 690 Neo

crossed at 80 for the woofer and 200 for tweeter with the crossover they sent and the gains are at 1 o’clock and HP and yes they where both in same channel why would the tweeter be 8ohm that messes the whole thing up ? So I need a different amp or speaker

Gains at 1 oclock doesn’t tell anyone anything. They need to be set by volts. Look at the amp gains sticky in the audio section. Recheck your wiring with the manual and maybe set the crossover to 100-125hz. Find out whats cracking. Unhook the tweeter and see how it sounds. Do you have the 4ohm resistor installed too?
