Hey guys,
I'm gonna have to pick your brain on this one. I usually consider myslf to be pretty electronic savvy. I have done quite a few sound systems for me and others and deal with MP3s, Ipods, the latest cell phones. Anyways, this one is getting to me.
I rewired the entire car using Ron Francis harness, while I was at it I put in a new head unit (Pioneer PH5400 or something of the sort), new Pioneer 6x9's on the back package tray. Now for some reason whenever I turn up the volume on the CD player and the bass hits the speakers crackle. I kind of chalked it up as pretty cheap speakers and a powerful head unit. Not the case! Because I went through and wired in my front speakers (JL Audio VR525CS with passive crossovers)and they do the same thing. i thought the cheapo Pioneer 6x9s were kinda papery sounding so when I hooked up the JL and they did the same thing. So I unhooked the 6x9s and hooked up a JL 10" to see what that would do and it crackles. The crackle is only when the bass hits. If I turn the volume on the system down to a lower setting (half way and lower) it sounds fine. Ive tried all of the adjustments with the HPFs and bass and treble freq and settings. And I just came to thiunk of it, but it has been that way since day one with this deck. I just always thought it was the POS pioneers 6x9s.
Any ideas? I wanna nip this in the rear before I go through the hassle of building my own kicks! and getting it all together and NADA
