Signs of moon and tunes amp going bad ?

I haven't posted in a while but I think my M&T amp is going bad. I have a Kenwood HU with Polk DB651 speakers front and rear. Recently just the front speakers sound VERY distorted even at low volume ( 1 ) :lol: At first I noticed it from the left speaker, but I did a visual inspection...no cracks or tears and connections were OK. Later on I noticed the right speaker was doing the same. Is that a symptom of the amp going bad ? I don't play my music loud enough to blow BOTH speakers within a week or 2, and I have the speakers slightly faded to the rear because I have the slim mounts in the fronts and the standard DB651 handles a bit more bass. If anything the rears would blow first.I guess the next step would be to remove the HU and check for loose connections, any advice ? Wow it sounds like crap :lol:

Would suspect bad connections. But first can you detail more about your system, do you have an adapter box between the head unit and Moon and Tunes amp input?

No adapter box...I purchased a Scosche SLC4 unit but Crutchfeild said I didn't need it. HU is a Kenwood KDCX597 front speaker are Polk DB651-S and rears are the DB651. Thx for the reply :D
