So today I installed a DDin unit, Kenwood DNX5140. Before putting everything back into the dash, I fired it up. Everything came up as it should, and I had sound out of all speakers.

One thing though, there's a noticeable click/tick noise from the right rear hatch speaker. Only that one.

1) I turn the volume down and the noise is still there.
2) I disconnected the speaker and the noise was gone
3) I reconnected it, and then I cut the + and - Right rear speaker wire from the head unit, in order to isolate it .. but the noise was still there on the hatch speaker.

My buddy suggested to take out / bypass the Monsoon amp and do a direct connect from all speaker to the new Head Unit.

Thoughts?

Anyone? Is this a unique/random problem?

well i had the same thing exactly in my 96...since u have a new head unit i think u better stay off the factory wiring i had kenwood too connected everything but the sound wasnt decent also some noise in the rear speakers...i bypassed factory wirings and had everything wired again and now sound is crystal clear

Hi, thanks for your inputs. So it seems that it's just a mismatch using factory wiring and some HUs. I did try, for the heck of it, to wire one speaker directly from the HU (just a quick test, holding the speaker and touching the HU wires) and OMG the sound was so much clearer.
