I searched and couldn't find a similar problem, so forgive me if this has been covered before. This is on my '84 N/A GL. I installed a new head unit and replaced all 4 speakers. I also ran new wires to the rear as the write-ups mention. The problem I'm having is a horrible crackling noise at anything over 25-30 volume (depends on the song playing). I also do not seem to be getting head unit sound from the driver side front speaker, however the voice warning system still works. This means the crackling is only noticeable from the passenger side front. Where it gets stranger is that if I fade to rear (+15) I can turn it up past 40 with no crackling but as soon as I fade back to the zero fade point the crackling starts. This leads me to the conclusion that it's a problem in the front speakers as I re-wired the back.
I originally thought that the problem of only the front passenger speaker giving audio and the driver side retaining voice warning might be tied to a blown speaker some how (don't know why I thought that but I figured the first step would be to replace them since I knew the rears had pretty much disintegrated).
Any thoughts? As a note, I do want to retain the voice warning. I'm sure I could rewire the front but I'm not familiar with the system to retain Betty. I do feel I'm missing something though.
