*02 Explorer* speaker crackle.

[luxoryride]

hey what goin im new to the site but need help asap..i have installed 3 diffrent head units from a jvc to a panasonic to the one i currently have pioneer avic d3 and all of the hu seem to work fine if u fade it to only the rear for the most part its sounds really clear...but as soon as u fade it to the front it starts to crackle at higher volumes almost is if the polarity was off so i tried clipping the driver side speaker connection at the hu and that seemed to clear it up but still crackels even at really low levels its sound muffled i dont know what to do now ..looks like the radio got ripped off before because the factory harnes is now a aftermarket one and there is a grey/black and a yellow wire that are just cut off going no where..only thing that i have come up with is the previous owner didnt do somthing right when installing the aftermarket harness but i went through wire for wire and it all checks out!!! hope someone can help a guy out with this problem

hi don't know if this will help but i to have this problem i have heard some have a factory amp in line so that could be a prob or bad wire i guess you have tried bypassing factory wire and go from head to speaker directly see if any better i haven't tried to fix mine yet gotta wire sub power supply etc hope i could help

i really dont want to go through the hassle of wiring each speaker although it sounds like the only way to eliminate this problem..but even with the factory deck i had this problem but im assuming the previous owner just installed a basic cd cassete and not the one intended for premium sound because the factory had only one plug going to it and the antenna of course..
