    Popping and buzzing....WTF?

    Is coming from my new front door kickers on my galant. It use to not do this, but after a few days with the kickers in the door, they don't sound good. The stock ones actualy sounded better but these are clearer than my stock ones. Anyways to the point, when the bass hits, the speakers make a pop sound, not even cranked up too much. Now after a month or two, its badd. I have to kick the door just to hear my front speakers. Sometimes it the front goes out, then i kick the door, it comes back buzzzing and popping, hit the door and its fine. Also, before the major buzzing started, i had to fade some of the front sound to the rear just so i could crank up the volume without having the front speakers pop and buzz

    any answers? thanks

    Sounds like a wire is loose or something. Possible that the speaker leads are shorted or loose also.

    yeah thats what it sounds liek to me too

    keep in mind that aftermarket speakers are not going to make the bass your factory ones did. most are made to go along with subs

    The reason why the speakers aren't hitting like factory is because the stock speakers are made for the response curve of the stock radio.

    The popping could be defective speakers, if the wire was rubbing somewhere the sound would cut in and out.
