Spekers pop after car is shut off

[Gunner44]

1997 Jeep, speakers pop and static during driving, (radio off) this continues after car is turned off. I disconnect battery - it stops. I removed circuit breaker and removed the radio from car- static continues. Volt meter indicates 6 to 7 volts when connected across breaker connection. Poping comes from side and rear doors. What could be powering speakers. Can anyone help? I disconnect the battery every night. I can't believe all four wires to speakers have shorted to a hot wire. Thank you for your time.

are they amped or through the head unit?

almost sounds like there is a speaker wire shorting out on the metal of the car.

There is so much wrong with this...

You need to give us alot more info, and better yet; have someone qualified look at your car before you screw up something big.

There is not a separate amp, or at least I can an not find one in the wiring diagram. I will check each speaker tomorrow. I also understand and appreciate the warning regarding not to going to far. The wiring diagram shows four separate leads going back to the head. When I removed the head, (it is a AM stereo and FM stereo with graphic equalizer, cassette tape player and CD player), disconnecting the leads, and the static continued, it throws me. A speaker must have power to produce static - right - how could all four be getting power. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Is it the infinity or bose system? It sounds like you have an amplifier in there somewhere.

must be, going on a hunt.

Fixed, thank you. The amp was in water under the rear seat, Pulled wires. I have never had a car with a seperate amp.

Holy crap, it was in water? I figured it would have fried.

Glad your problem is solved!

my concern is not that the amp was in water.. but rather my concern is.. why the hell is there water in the first place?!
