does it crackle WHILE you are turning the volume up? or does it crackle when it is loud?
crackling while turning the volume up.. the potentiometer could be dirty. these are easy to clean. crackling with volume UP... loose connections to the speakers. good luck! obin |

Is this while the engine is running and is it worse at higher throttle?

I like what obin said but check or find a more solid ground. Most noise problems I've seen are bad grounding or grounding near something that causes noise, like the engine, but obin sounds right, check the speaker connections.

My old denon amp did the same, the solder points holding the potentiometer to the circuit board had cracked and the potentiometer was dirty. I cleaned it and resoldered it to the circuit board the problem disappeared.
The potentiometer is the "thing sitting on the inside of the volume control knob". /Magnus |
