speaker crackling/popping

[ct126x]

my speakers crackle/pop when the music is playing. I have to adjust the fader to play in the rear more than the front for the crackle/pop to be LESS noticeable. The noise is still there when you turn the music up. Do I need new speakers?

Sounds like you have a blown speaker, some one will correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep, seems like an acute case of blown speaker. Are they the stock speakers?

seems like you need some new speakers

 

[jeepers94]

they are all correct. That happened in my car when I blew my speakers.

I think they might be aftermarket, it says alpine on them. Previous owner put them in. What kind of speakers should I get? I might want to get a small powered sub (don't really want a box) and amp. Give me some suggestions guys Should I replace the tweeters as well?

fronts

rears

sub

my personal favorite brand and series of car audio.

I have always liked infinity speakers... and I had some rockford fosgates that were really good.... basically you get what you pay for, for the most part and every person has their favorite brand.... so you just gotta find a speaker you like and buy it... the end

crap i just put the sps600c in my car and thought i didnt need the wiring network they hive you, because the teg is already wired kinds like that, and it crackles but plays, so im putting the net in tomorrow and hopefully it will go away, ugh i need a amp too lol

I'm an audio newb. I was browsing through crutchfield and came across "powered subs" and I think it said its a sub and amp combined? If thats the case, would I still need to buy an amp or can I just buy one of these "powered subwoofers"

niether. buy a seperate sub and a seperate amp. and make sure you have an alarm. later

powered subs are made to help conserve space. so if you want a compact setup go powered but you wont get as much power as you could with a separated setup.

update: Everytime I drive over a bump on the road, my music stops playing and when I drive over another bump, it starts playing again and the crackling/popping sound is more noticeable now. Are all my speakers dying if this happens?

That is a head unit problem. If the speakers aren't new and they are cracking and popping they are worn out and you need new ones.

What should I check in the headunit? Just the wires?
