[QUOTE="mikey7182, post: 3397145, member: 580809"] I've had this issue before (long time ago) and it turned out to be a grounding issue. I'd go through and eliminate one possibility at a time. First, change the location of your chassis ground from your deck to your car instead of plugging into the factory ground (if you haven't already). Even if you have, try a new spot and make sure to sand the hell out of it to get bare metal exposed. If that doesn't fix it, try azbass's suggestion. That is more along the lines of what my problem was. A speaker lead had caught on the metal when I ran it through the door and it was grounding out. It sounded fine at low volumes for whatever reason but as soon as I'd crank it, it would short and crackle in and out. Something is grounded somewhere. Trace all your speaker wires back and if you haven't already done so, run fresh wires straight from your deck to your speakers. Don't tap into anything factory. That will eliminate room for error.
