what kind of 17" speaker is it? you are using the metric system, correct? so 17" is not inches right? What else are you using, an amp or the deck to power it? Maybe some sound deadening material like dynamat will help... -------------

Yeah, 17" speakers usually do make a lot of bass noise!

maybe it is in cm, 17cm is pretty close to 6.5in...

we still need more info, are you using an amplifier or the deck? could you be more descriptive in what noises the speakers make?
The crossover settings are very important, and maybe the cause of the problem

You said this happens with loud bass. It's possible you're just working those speakers too hard, and pushing them to their limits (max excursion). This will definitely sound bad. If you're using an amplifier, set the crossovers to high pass at no lower than 80 Hz. Also, turn down the bass on the radio and don't use the loud button. If you do not have an amplifier, add some bass blockers, and don't turn the volume up so high. ------------- My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

first of all i wanna thank you for giving answer to my simple question istead of spending time on the more harder ones no i am not using an amp, i am only using a deck that has 4*50 out put (25 nom.) and my speakers are 200 watts pioneers this is enought i guess.. but despite this they make bass noise... but geepherders advise sounds soo nice, thanks dude

Don't run subwoofers off deck power. You'll be clipping the poor deck all day long and your music will sound horrible until you...
Get an amplifier. :-)
