You must tune the meam50.4 to not play the bass threw your speakers using the crossover in you radio and amplifier otherwise you will blow them out due to bass distortion. Also it could be a problem with the way your speakers are wired to the amp they could possible grounded out or the speakers and making the amp play in the incorrect ohm load. The Infinity kappas are 2ohm speakers which is a load that amp can handle. I was Justy curious what woofers fo you have on you MEAM1900pro. That amp is our top of the line it can run even at .5 ohm load for short competition burst to create the most spl, the amp will run at 1ohm load all day long with out a problem so don't worry about that. Just check to see if your woofer can handle the raw power the amp will throw at it before wireing down to one ohm load.

I am certain there is a sentence in there... Somewhere. Hell, there might even be a paragraph, as well!

All I was able to read was blahblahblahblahblahblahblah.

Wrong answer. NO speaker will ever blow due to distortion. Mechanical or even electrical overpowering, but they CANNOT blow from distortion.

Now. That being said, define "cold". Like freezing temperatures? The colder it is, the stiffer the suspensions will be, affecting the acoustic alignment of the subwoofer box. This could answer the bass issue.

As far as the mid-range issue, what kind of noise or "off-color" sound are you hearing?

Does it also seem odd to other members that one person from Texas posts a question, and ANOTHER member, also from Texas, but joined TODAY, was conveniently there to "answer the question", but singing the praises of the very product the OP was asking after...? Sounds a little SPAMmy to me.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

If it were me I would purchase an amplifier before I installed all of that equipment.

It's not just you haemphyst... seems like a little bit of product placement to me.  Although if I were to do the same I wouldn't be discussing the problems of my products lol.
