Check to make sure your grounded good using the same size wire as your power wire. Have you changed the radio recently... You might have a wire backwards behind the radio... But your mids and tweets would be doing the same even with no amp hook to them. Tell us a little more about your system... Have you wired the subs diff... Ohms might be set to low.

Sounds like it is clipping. Try turning the gains down while it is playing to see if it stops. Have you changed anything in the configuration? Have you checked the speaker wires to make sure they are not touching? How long have you had the system hooked up and how do you have the sub(s) wired?

If you want hip-hop try FloridaKs No Mail on Sunday - if you like rock/metal try Disturbed's Ten Thousand Fist. I will try to think of more. Let me know if you want current or old school.
