Default speaker cutting out

my apology in advance, im still trying to figure out this forum. and dont know if this is the right place to post
I purchased 4 GZ 6.5 coax spl...and 2 SD 800.4 amps
everything is hooked up properly.
the problem is now when i turn up the volume the speakers cut out, if i lower the volume to a certain point, no problem speakers play.
Ive taken out the GZ speakers and put back in the 7.1 from BT, i could play them all day at full volume and dont cut out.
ive done some searching on the internet and some guys have no problem.
others have said that they had to cut the board on the speaker.
it doesnt make sense to me for $300 a pair that these would have to be modified to make them work.
Its not a Harley
thanks in advance for any info

I’ll start by saying, I run the GZ coax and they sound phenomenal for me, along with lots of other members on here. not sure what board cutting you are referring to

are your power and ground cables the proper sized ofc? that would be where I’d start.

are the gains properly set?

are the speakers polarity correct?

if using a stock head unit, did you get it flashed?

your best bet is to post in the audio section, they can be a little snobby, but there is a lot of knowledgeable members in there
