To avoid hijacking a thread I decided to create a new one just in case someone else has a similar issue as I did.
Thanks to Smurf and Guy, their thread convinced me to upgrade my sound system ($500 DIY Sound System).
BACKGROUND
Install started off great. I installed the new subwoofer...
Thats what I did... tapped into the sub output to the kenwood monoamp into the sub (outside this circuit to the RF door speaker).
I never noticed the crackling from the speaker prior to installation.
I didn't use a harness to connect to the door speaker.
The picture i attached is just a doing...
- I've checked again... swapped the negative and positive wires onto the speaker to see if speaker audio adjusts and it doesn't sound right. Sounds like a muted speaker (as I would probably expect with swapped wires)
- I did remove the butt connectors by cutting them off. Then stripped the...
- The Fade/balance does not affect the crackling (although music does change as expected with alteration of fade/balance)
- I did amp the sub, per this thread
- I did not add any additional signal processor nor amp the rest of the system
- Stock amp still in place
Thanks for the reply smurf,
So I had crackling before I did the tweeters and center console. I assumed it was a bad speaker and just pressed forward knowing I could swap it out. Then I swapped and no help.
Do y’all know what the voltage is supposed to be? I’m wondering if I have a bad...
So I’ve done a continuity check across the terminals. It’s showing open, which is good I believe because now there is no short I think that proves it, right?
I’ve posted pictures of the state of my truck right now... lol
Thanks for the quick response, it is definitely the right front. When you turn the audio off, you can tell it’s coming from there.
My stupid ass forgot to use the harnesses I’d purchased (back to my high school days) and cut off the stock harnesses and connected the speakers using butt...
Gents,
First of all, thanks so much for the intel. It sounds great except for one very, Very, VERY annoying issue.
First I swapped the sub and wrapped the enclosure. The next week I installed the rear speakers. The week after that the front, tweeters, and center dash.
Upon completing the...
I gotta update that... I just moved to FL. Do you have any drone with the SW system with headers?
And FYI my street queen hasn't had her cherry popped... But she will my friend... She will.
Here's my perfect exhaust:
- Mediocre loudness: loud enough to know it's not stock but not too loud to wake the neighbors
- Zero to minimal drone (corsa drone would be perfect)
- rear bumper exit ( I know no one likes it but I love the look)
- potential header combo (factoring in cost)...
