Will do, but I do not see the Speaker Pop app in the play store, I have an Android.
There's a million different options, but not a one actually says "speaker pop".

Gotcha. I picked up that tip from somebody around page 10 of this thread. Maybe there's some more info on the comparable Android app back there.
And yes, those are the speakers I grabbed. They had them in stock at Best Buy, so I grabbed 2 sets. (If I had planned on buying them, I would have grabbed them on Crutchfield to get the free adapters.)

Thanks for the info.
Crutchfield shows the Metra 71-050 adapter included with the Kickers, seems like I read on here somewhere that you can get an adapter that reverses the polarity for the doors.
Whoever engineered all of this mess needs to be throat punched...

I have the base 8.4 with 6 speaker system. I recently installed dash speakers 3.5" Infinity REF-3032CFX and volume over 22 to 23 and speakers pop and cut-out. I have changed polarity on speakers and still same issue. Crutchfield will replace speakers but can't believe they are the issue. If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it. This thread is full of good info, just can't seem to figure this out. Thanks

Did you install the filters that came with the speakers? The in-line bass blockers. It’s possible you are overdriving them. I’d also make sure your connections are solid.

They did not come with any extra in-line bass blockers, only the ones soldered into speaker itself. All connections are tight. These speakers are 2 ohm verse the stock ones 8 ohm... They are much louder and clearer but start popping and cutting out at higher volume.
Likely a power issue. Do the dash speakers seem overwhelming vs the others?

They are quite a bit louder than stock. Did you have any issues with these? I see you have the same form your signature. Did yours have bass blockers?

They should have come with bass blockers in the box, mine did. Thats from Infinity not Crutchfield. I know other members have not used them and I don’t remember issues but it’s one less fracture point when cranking the volume, especially if adding an amp down the road. Are both speakers doing it?

No I didn't change my dash out yet. Not sure where you saw that.
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to build my audio setup.
I see a lot of people on here installing bass blockers to reduce the output of the dash since the stock speaker are 8ohms and most aftermarket are 4ohms.

A "Micro 2" "Add a circuit" fuse tap in slot 66 will do the trick.

the remote turn in wire is simply “switched 12v” which means connecting it to a fuse or wire that gets “switched” on when you turn your ignition on as opposed to a power source that is always “hot”. You wouldn’t want that because then your amp would stay on when your truck is off. It’s the same as connecting a radar detector or dashcam, etc., just a switched 12v power source. Now many modern amps don’t need the remote turn on wire if they can accept “High level inputs” since this will tell the amp to “turn on” but I have found that running a remote wire seems to work better because you are less likely to get a thump when the amp powers up.

Rich’s answer was much more to the point 
Are you talking about at the fuse box? Sorry not very versed with car electronics although I'm very good with other electronics.
