I just installed 2 new sets of components (4 6.5s and 4 tweeters for some reason people dont get this). When I have my volume low they sound fine, but when I turn it up about half to 3/4 they cut out (Like the "s" and "t" in words). Do I just need to let them get broken in or what? if it is just break in, how long or how will i know other than just testing them. They are power acoustik CPT-60c.

what headunit are you using? sounds like a clipping issue to me.

Sony xav-62bt. My components are running off my factory amp, i had 4 other 6.5s in there when i swaped out the bose and didnt have this issue. I know the amp is also not over powering or coming close to overpowering the components.

I thought this as well, but my other 6.5s are 4 ohm as well and it didnt happen. The only difference beteween the old 6.5 and components is the rms and max are bigger on the components.

It's the factory amp. Take them off it. Get a nice 4 channel in there. When I got my components in, i had put em on a 4 channel, but forgot to bypass the factory amp. And when I turned it up somewhat loud it sounded like crap and cut out.
