Hi guys this is my first post here . I just bought a 2024 x7 m60i 2 weeks ago with bowers & wilkins speaker package. When i turn high volume around 80% the speaker above the windshield make cracking noise is that normal? Thank you for your advice.

Hard to say what’s going on as you didn’t mention the source material, but I haven’t heard anything of the sort from my B&W.

Do keep in mind that there is a break in (burn in) period for speakers where it takes a few hours for the surround material to reach an optimal flex coefficient.

The first thing I would try though is pushing down on the edge of the speaker housing and see if that stops the cracking noise.

I tried pushing down on the edge of the speaker housing already but still heard that cracking noise, but when the volume under 50 the speaker is fine

Not normal. Could be that channel of the amp, could be the speaker itself or could be the speaker mount is loose.
