stereo cracking / popping sound
« on: December 14, 2016, 06:56:32 pm »
I have a 84 c10 with a pioneer deh-x6800bt stereo receiver with 4 6.5 pioneer speakers attached. when I turn the volume up about 3/4 there is cracking and popping sound. I checked the harness ground and actually made a new point for ground. then I checked all the speakers polarity making sure positive and negative is connected from the stereo to speakers. speaker wires are new using regular speaker wire to all 4 speakers. also I connected a couple speakers to a boom box outside the truck and turn up volume but had no cracking or popping. anyone have any other steps I can take.

Does it matter if the truck is running or not? Is it a new stereo?

I always had it running and yes everything from the wires to the stereo equipment is new.

That doesn't answer the question though. Does it do it with the truck not running?

Where are your speakers located? I have two in the lower part of my door, when i installed them i had popping, i rotated them 180 and the were good, i found out the terminals were grounding out on a metal channel in the door.

Kick panels so I don't think it would be grounding since it's plastic. Idk it stopped for a brief moment it seemed but it's back just not as prominent as before. If you guys have any other ideas lmk. I'm living with it for now so I can move on to something else. Thanks

With the engine off and the radio on, does it still pop or no?
