No! If i turn the volume "very" low you cannot hear it.
However when i increase the volume they ( now both fronts) crackle like crazy!?

It is worse on the pass side. but now it seems to be moving to the drivers side, only not as bad.? What can i do?

TIA........

Check all the grounds and other connects to make sure they make good clean firm contact. A bad ground or connection can cause crackling.

I had a similar problem with my EQ in my truck. I ended up buying a new one. It sounds like the POT on the volume control is worn out. This is just a guess. Try hooking up another radio temporarily to see if this is the problem! Good luck!

Default I have the same problem with rear seat SUBS

I have the same problem with rear seat SUBS....

I replaced the SUB...... and the Monsoon Amp. Still have the same annoying rattle in the SUB......

I'm thinking it has to be the HU..... Any more ideas?

Ah I doubt its the wires...

Id definitely more agree with what sleek silverado said, thats very very likely the solution.
