i just baught 4 infinity speakers, and two of them are 300w, and 2 are 150w. i have a 1000w amp with 2 10' jbl subwoofers. the deal is whenever i turn it up really loud, i kinda sounds like my speaker is making a farting noise. it usually only does this for rock and roll songs, and i know they arent blown. can anybody shed any light on this mater???

i dont even turn the sound up all the way, even medium low setting and it does this. it is also only certain sounds, like high pitched ones.

You really need two amps. One for the subs and one for the other speakers.
I have a 760w Pioneer (bridged) driving my sub and a 4 channel Pioneer 600w driving my four full-range speakers.
You don't need as many watts to get the same dynamic sound level from higher frequencies - you are over-traveling and clipping your poor 150 W full range speakers with your 1000w amp. You will burn out a voice coil in them before too long.

How do you have the system wired? What are your Gain and EQ settings? You mention the 4 Inifinity, but in relation to the 1000 Watt Amp, that you only have 2 other independent JBL's hooked upto it. Your wording is extremely confusing.
If it's only doing it for a type of music, it could be bad mixes, and the music itself. Older Zeppelin songs sound like crap for bass on good systems... in comparison to something like the synthed bass tones of a Dance track... Which speakers are making the sound, and what are they hooked upto? This is only what would appear to be 'part' of the information.
Any chance you have incorrect crossover settings? And you're funnelling bass through your tweeters? With what you've posted everyone can only make guesses as to what it might be. Elaborate... what all is in your system, what is it hooked upto, etc...

If your speaker's only make the noise on high pitched sounds, then the problem might lie with an OEM tweeter you didn't replace. If you are still using the stock tweeters, they may be blown. Either that or your speakers are coaxials and have blown tweets. If there is no problem at all with your car's speakers, then the problem could lie with your hu, it could be going bad, although that isn't as likely.

Check your settings on your amplifier. Have it play while you change it up and leave it where it sounds best.
Which ones are clipping, the speakers or the subs?

Are your gains set correctly. Sounds like clipping. This will damage subs quick.

that's too much power for them. turn your amp down, or U will blow them.
