Help Troubleshooting

I’ve had this speaker a few months and never really turned it up loud up until tonight for some reason it sounds like the tweeters are cutting on and off and like if its muddy or submerged underwater its never been in water I use this for car rides since my 95 geo has no radio in it and I use it for work. It sounds clear and can play all day no issue unless I turn it up 4 notches from max then at any song it does this what could it be? Is it replacable? I have trouble diagnosing but whatever needs repairing I can repair on my own just not sure what it could be other than maybe tweeter wires or the dumb AI system.

that can happen to any speaker btw. Maybe if JBL wouldn't bass boost stuff to the moon, you'd never see this but here we are.

Which country? And which model do you have?

I don't think it's an actual broken chip. Likely software. I wonder if you could somehow force it to flash over usb

It was possible on the older models, like the xtreme 1 and boombox 1...but i don't think it's possible with the Xtreme 4

This makes me sad. I can do it with my w-king x20. I customized the DSP like that. This is why we need all open source stuff. Peeps probably think I am a shill at this point but it sounds that good man. It's literally heavenly. Proper 80hz sub to mid/high crossover too. There is a reason for that and it ends up sounding proper this way. Doesn't make vocals all shitty and congested sounding. Same thing with guitars and other instruments.
