Thread: Monsoon crackle noise

My 2007 Grandprix's Monsoon right rear deck speaker makes a continuous crackle noise when I hit a bump or close the trunk. If I disconnect the speaker it stops then starts again when I reconnect it. When I disconnect the monsoon it stops. When I reconnect the Monsoon it stays stopped until I hit a bump or close the trunk. Any solutions... Thanks

If it is a crackle that occurs from being jarred around, it is obviously a bad connection somewhere around the speaker or somewhere in the wiring. It is intermittent because sometimes the connection is made fine and other times not.The trick is finding out exactly where the problem is at. It could be at the solder point on the speaker, in the speaker connector (assuming it is a factory speaker), or a break in the wiring somewhere. The best way to determine the problem is to lay in the trunk with the radio on and move the wiring and try to zero in on the problem area.

a crackle in a speaker is not normal. even if you are giving it power and taking it away. replace the speaker.

Sorry about that, I am a "Brand New" member..... Thank you for pointing out my error in such a non- judgmental way Mr. Site police........
