Crackling in my speakers?

[jchulski19]

I'm getting a bunch of crackling and werid noises coming from my speakers at high volumes mainly in the higher frequency range. I have 6" rockford fosgates in the front and back doors and i have a 4 channel rockford fosgate amp running all 4 of the speakers. i thought i had the gain set too high but when i lowered it i was still getting these weird noises i dont know if its the speakers that are blown or if its the amp. i lowered the bass on the head unit and it went away a little bit but its still there and im all out of ideas on what it could be does anybody have any ideas

I would try resetting the amps with the hu turned a few notches down.

what do you mean resseting the amp?? just unplug the power wire and plug it back in? also turn th HU down a few notches on volume? it was never doing it before when i had it that loud it just started doing it about a week ago.

check your wire connections. At high volume your loose wire my start bouncing around a cause cracking from a broken signal. Just a guess

Put the low pass filter on the 4 channel to around 100hz and see if it makes a difference. You may have blown your speakers or they arent handling the bass well.

he means high pass. at least i hope.

i have the 4 channel on high pass but its preset to 100hz i think. also the wire to the left front door speaker keeps getting severed by the window when i roll it down and it has gotten so short that I cant keep splicing into it unless i have to run entirely brand new speaker wire which i want to avoid

runn new wire and use zip ties for gods sake! is the crackling always present? disconnect all speakers get a working test speaker and see if

the noise is still there. a shorted speaker wire will cause it to make a crackling sound, sometimes.

 

[jchulski19]

no the noise is not always there. I plan on running new wire but i need to find out how to get my outside door panel off otherwise i cant run the new wire thru the conduit. also the noise only seems to be coming from the fron speaker

ive gotten no sleep but I imagine he still got what I meant.

outside door panel? the only door panels i know are on the inside. there is a rubber boot in between the door hinges, run the wire through there. are they component 6.5?

sounds like a wire is grounding out on the door somewhere
