If your speakers pop when you turn the volume up, does that usually mean that the speakers are not powerful enough for the head unit.  I know the speakers are not busted but they pop when the volume is turned up.  It cant be the head unit because it is brand new!!  What could be the problem?

It generally means the speakers are being over-driven and cannot handle the power they are being given.  It can also happen when they are being sent too low a frequency at too high power and sometimes a high-pass filter can help.  It can also mean yur amplifier is simply clipping like a drunk barber and you need to turn it down.  What speakers and what head unit?

My head unit is a Pioneer DEH-16 and the speakers are four 5.25 inch Pheonix Digital speakers installed in the place of the factory speakers.

My guess is those speakers are simply so poorly constructed that they cannot handle what the head is sending them.  Turn the bass down, turn the loudness off, and turn the volume down.  Unfortunately there is really not much you can do to make those things sound very good except replace them with better speakers.  Also that Pioneer deck can sound fairly good at low volume, but if you turn it up past about 3/4 volume it will clip like crazy and produce about 50% distortion.  Sorry.
