static in right front speaker set...

[bodine76]

I have a strange problem.

I put a little sound in my truck last Feb 08. No real problems. Today I was fine tuning the gain and high pass filter when all of a sudden my right front door speaker set (alpine spx-ref 6.5) went to static. The statis varies in intensity but is indepenent of volume control, fade, balance, etc. It is consistent whether the engine is on or off (with key still on). The only way to get rid of it is to turn off the hu. I pulled out the hu, checked the amp connections, speaker connections in the door and no dice. (note that i am not very tech/mech savvy). i did pull both sets of rca plugs from the mca2004 pushing front and rear door speakers and static still there. what the heck could be going on? and why would it just start out of the blue??

Sounds like a speaker wire is grounding out somewhere. I'd check all of the speaker wiring and then go from there. If all wire's and connections are good and the static still persists I would try hooking up the left speaker output to the right speaker(do this at the amp itself) and see if that changes anything.
