Speaker Problems
Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my front passenger speaker. After listening to the radio for a while (not at full blast or anything like that) it starts to distort and whine.
The front speaker is a brand new jbl gto607 component speakers. I took it to the shop that installed these speakers and they said everything looked fine. What do you guys think? Thanks, Bret

I turned the radio back on and it still had the crackling and whining.
My next mod is definitely sound deadening the whole car.

Well for starters you bought a JBL speaker...that was your first mistake. Nah i'm just givin ya ****. Next time you listen to the stereo when it starts to distort, pop of the speaker cover and touch the dustcap on the speaker to see if it's hot...if it is thats more than likely where the distortion is coming from. If it's not try switching the left and right speakers to see if it stays on the passenger side or moves to the driver side. If it moves to the driver side then it's your speaker...if it stays on the passenger side then you've got a faulty connection or something.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks for all the replies. I've adjusted the balance and fade and it's definitely the r/f speaker (I'll know not to purchase JBL's next time!) The amp is mounted on the shelf behind the rear seats in between the two child seat anchors. The whine seems to get louder as the rpm's go up. I going to get the stereo warmed up enough tomorrow to drive by the shop and ask them wtf it is. Thanks again for all the input. Bret

No, it's very likely not the speaker. First off, switch your front channels on the amp and see if the noise follows it or not.
Make sure your amp is securely grounded to a good spot. We recommend using the large bolts at either side of the seatbelts - I used the upper mount. Make sure to scrape some paint away.
