Have you checked to see if they're plugged in right? Have you had them blasting really loud recently?

Means there old and need new ones...I don't even drive my car, and I've went threw 3 12s already...

How old are the speakers? Are they really old?

I would replace them, if they're doing this, mine are 1 year old and need replacing

thanks

You mean ticking as in clipping when they play high volume sound?  Try adjusting the levels at the various stages in the output process.  If turning the speakers down stops the ticking then it's your dodgy speakers that can't cope.  If not then try turning down the master volume on your PC - the sound card might not be able to take the level of sound that is being fed to it.  If not, the mixer can still clip if one of the inputs is too high.  Open up the Volume Control utility and try turning down some secondary levels - most often wave or CD for music.

Problem solved thanks, replaced
