Crackling speakers

Post by BeardyJon » Sat Mar 17, 2018 1:44 pm

I've noticed recently that some of the speakers are starting to crackle when playing music, and not even very loudly.

Would this be a problem with the speakers or the amp? Anyone got any experience of how to solve this?

if its one speaker then its the speaker or its connection.
If it is all of them I would be checking the amp and its connections before replacing anything.
Could also be a HV component breaking down, causing interference, try putting a mates car next to it when its running and see if their speakers crackle..

Adjust the balance, you may just have a damaged speaker/connection. If it's coming out of them all, then it's the Amp. Or at least something common to them all :wink:
