Default Help with amp settings (reinstalled)

I have a kicker cx 600.1 and two 10" compS kicker subs

I have a 2012 lexus is250 with ML audio. Nav and in dash lcd.

Bestbuy installed everything May 2014. The amp blew out of no where last week so I went to bestbuy today and they replaced it for me. I was driving home and noticed that some songs have very noticeable crackling sounds...

I am clueless with the settings on amps so can someone lead me in the right direction. Right now I have the input pushed in (hi) and gain around 4 (0-11), cross over freq. at 85ish (50-200) and bass boost at 0.

it was perfect before.. no idea what the previous installer set them too either

Crackling coming from the subs or your OE speakers?

^Yep, sounds like a combo of bad grounds, bad wiring, bad connections throughout. They installed it all; they should fix it all!
