I just got a 1998 Audi A4 quattro and the speakers originally were bose but the original owner removes the rear speakers and the front passenger speaker. Leaving the driver side door speaker, which was blown out. so i replaced the rear with brand new speakers but yet when i turn them up loud they begin to distort and crackle. Is it because there new and need broken in?
first verify to be certain if the speaker is grounding on something the place it it fixed electric powered tape around the advantageous and damaging terminals on the speaker works great ! verify all the wires and connectors in case you have an o.e.m deck it may be the wires at the back of the deck. good success with that .
I faced the same problem once. My old car speakers was blown out too. maybe because I cranked the volume too loud. then I bought a really cheap car speakers for RM80 with installation too. they were kenwood speakers. At first, when I tested, the sound came out wonderful. Really sounded brand new. I didn't cranked the volume too loud this time but after 1 week of used. they begin to crackle. I went to the shop and they said I cranked the volume too loud. Dissatified, I drove to my friend's house as he was good in this electronics and gadgetry things. We opened the speakers to have a good look. My friend told me that the kenwood speakers weren't manufactured by kenwood. it is a non branded china made speakers wit kenwood logo glued onto it. Good and pricy branded speakers don't crackle or distort easily. another simptom might be because of poor installation. hehe
