My front right tweeter crackles every few seconds or so. i thought i had a blown tweeter so i changed it out and the new one does the same thing. i then reversed channels 1 and 2 on the amp and the left front tweeter started crackling. looks like whatever speaker i have hooked up to the 2nd channel crackles. my amp is only 2 weeks old. could i have a channel out already?
Same problem...Alpine said it was a bad amplifier. I replaced the amp and the channel 2 problem is more or less gone...but now I have a hiss on every channel, low, but present none-the-less. I am about to try a third amplifier and then switch to another company because Alpine keeps saying it is a problem with the amplifier. I bought from OnlineCarStereo.com, BestBuy, and now Crutchfiel.

Same problem as patrick2009 described. Even with RCA's disconnected the hissing sound is still there (in the right tweeter). The problem is really in the amplifier.Same problem as patrick2009 described. Even with RCA's disconnected the hissing sound is still there (in the right tweeter).

Make sure your speaker wiring does not come close to the 12v power cable running for your amplifier. If your amplifier's 12v power cable runs on the drivers side of the vehicle, run your speaker cables on the passengers side and make sure your tweeters have a high pass filter to stop any pickup of engine sound (When you are driving you *WILL* notice it at high RPM. a HPF (High Pass Filter) will also stop those nasty hissing sounds on S's.

What exactly do you mean by "middle volume settings"? Where is the volume control physically, where are the channel levels set and what is the crossover point? After the crackling appears , do you switch speakers to the right channel to see if speakers are actually damaged or if the receiver is producing the distortion?
Ahh, that channel is blown. Its not 100% blown. This has happened to my freind before, and from my long knowlage in audio, the channel is blown, and is not fixable. If you REALLY are attached to it, you could probably bring it to a shop that fixes receivers, but best bet is to let it go
Would check your balance settings. Make sure your not balanced more to left than right. Next i would try to swap over one of the speakers from right side to left to see if it crackles. If not replace left side speakers.
either the wires in the boot where door folds open has broken wires in it or the most likely case you have 2 blown wolfers and 1 blown tweeter. common for cars with the monsoon stereo system, they made the radio better than the speakers.
I am assuming you have the ACS 48's as your question was on this page. If not, these tips may work anyway. Firstly, the bottom plastic stands on the ACS 48 tend to rattle obnoxiously after awhile. Simply glue them on or somehow make it so they don't rattle. You can remove them easily to see if this is the problem. The face covers can also rattle, take these off as well, and see if that solves the problem.
The second problem I had was related to the tweeter in one speaker rattling also. I took a freshly sharpened pencil, and simply ran it around the far outside diameter of the tweeter between the case and the tweeter. Be carefull here, you could puncture the tweeter. If not deft of hand, have someone do it for you. Hope this helps
Thirdly, and most complicated, one or more of the drivers are blown. Find a used ACS 48 system on ebay, they are fairly cheap, or have the midranges resurounded at an audio speaker rebuilding shop. Not sure what to do if the tweets are blown, but if it were me, and it surely will be the longer I have these, I would take them apart, pull the tweeter, and try to buy new ones of better quailty. Thinking of doing this anyway. lol These are awsome speakers compared to what I hear in stores these days.
Hello,
there is no chance that you can fix this problem by replacing speaker wires. Resoldering the output stages as well as area around the microprocesor could be the efficient solution.
If you need more info please advice.
