crackle

[jeffseal]

I am having crackle threw my speaker when playing the radio and CD's has anyone else had this. i have totally replaced the stock system down to the wires from the amp to the door speakers. the speakers are 5x8 bostons and the subs are w6. you can look at the pics and see the other stuff. i am running 2 pairs of rca cables from the headunit to the 4 channel amp and then an rca from the 4 channel to the 2 channel which is bridged. are the setting on the 4 channel V12 posibly wrong, if someone else has this amp what should the settings be on? the wire from the amp to the doors is 16 guage speaker wire running straight to the doors no spiceing or cuts. what could this be? the speakers are practically brand new, they are just mounted to the metal door fram. do they need something behind them? thanks SEAL

Can't tell too much from your description, but the times that I've had problems with a crakle of some sort the problem has always been a loose connection. It could be a speaker wire, rca cable, or even power or ground wire. Does the crakle get better or worse based on anything else? Is it constant or random? Is it from all speakers or just one or a pair?

could be engine noise if it changes as the engine revs

I remember I had a problem similar to this. I also had total cut offs of my speakers from time to time. Bumps and messing with the temperature controls made the problem. I figured that the wires from the DC player had fallen into the temperature controls and were causing a shortage. They had, and all I had to do was take them out and it was fine. Could it be something like this? Otherwise all I could figure is a bad connection. Im clueless

now that i think about it, i had a similar problem, but it was only when the car was running. i wrote it off as a bad deck cause i returned it and got a new one and it stopped.
