hi guys
just fitted my new infinty components in the car and there is a crackle cummin out occasionally on certain tracks when the volume is increased to number 35(headunit goes up to 40)is this just 2 much output from the head unit for the speakers to handle or have i trapped a cable and its grounding out on the car.
hope someone can explain this to me
cheers :)

yer you might be best doing that, if you have your head unit at 35 vol when max is 40 you obviosly like your music loud so an amp would make a huge difference

That don't sound good 8O

Upgrade your power and earth to the headunit and make sure your using some proper speaker wire not the same kind as you wire a door bell with.

BTW what headunit is it?

as chu346 said make sure you are using proper speaker cable and not stock cable thats in the car as it brings the quality down
