What setting do I need to adjust to fix static when bass hits, even at low volumes?

Hello,

I recently got the Focal 100KRS installed into my car. It sounds great and today I decided to listen to some older music. I tried Love Lockdown by Kanye West and every single time the bass hits in the song, the speakers let off a stati noise/cracking. Now I understand if this were to happen at high volumes, however even at low volumes the static/cracking is still present.

I was thinking maybe the speakers are not getting enough power but I increased the power on the amp (JL XD700/6) and the problem is still there.

I am also running 2 earthquake subs.

What do you guys think?

I forgot to mention, I have a JL Cleansweep that I still havent recalibrated since getting the new speakers, could that also be the issue?

Changing the speakers doesn't affect the CleanSweep. You have a different problem. Where did you get all this gear? Can they help you out?
