What's wrOng with my radio/speakers?

[Maxima man 10+ year member]

Are my speakers blown in my maxima? I've got it on max volume (31) and it sounds like it's on 5 or so, and it's crackling and the back ones don't work at all. I've had it for about a month now and just haven't had time to fool with it or take it anywhere but I hate not having a radio. Please help.

is there a factory amp in the car.

and that is the exact reason you dont turn the factory stereo up to max.

i highly suggest learning a bit more about the works of an audio system before you destroy more equipment

I didn't break them they were like that when I got the car I've never broken any audio equipment. That's why I'm unsure of what to do.

This makes me think that you need to learn a bit more...

bad, not always, the people there usually dont know what the hell they are actually talking about because the just say what they read in a book, but there are some exceptions.

personally the only thing i buy from bestbuy is a wiring harness or dash kit when i need it in a hurry. other than that i order online.

whats your budget for speakers. and if your going to put anything nice in you might as well put in a 4 chan amp to run them.

search around and lurk on here and some of the other car audio forums, or pick up the MECP basic book if you just want to get some of the starter information down.
