also the rear bell on the subwoofer seems to hum/hiss when the bass air comes out.

the rear bell? are you talking about the port (big hole)?

Cause it is common that some subwoofers have this port noise.. usually due to poorly designed enclosures. If that's the case, there's not much you can do about it. try stuffing some foam or a sock into the port opening (dont put it all the way inside!) and see how it sounds.

can't help you with that speaker crackle though

Not at all!!

All it will do is change the enclosure from being ported to sealed, which imo is better anyways. Sealed enclosures have "tighter, less boomy bass" where as ported enclosures have "muddy boomy bass."

Its all a personal preference though.

"I’m a dance floor favorite? Great! I would say the passion that I feel for the music I buy and the honesty with how I play it. I play the records I love not the ones that simply work. I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge
