Speaker "tick"

4rwheeler · 02-27-2008, 01:46 PM

I don't know if my car has always done this, but I heard a tick from the speakers when I had the radio turned all the way down. Sounds like a spark almost. "Ticks" about once a second. I turned the radio off, and it still does it. I pulled the radio out and unplugged it, and it still does it. When the car is off, it goes away. Once the car is running or the radio is above 5, you can't here it. My Wife can barely here it. I have the Boston sound system, so I can only guess it is coming from the amp. Anyone else have this? Got me weirded out.

Havent heard of this one..... are you certain its coming from the speakers? Have you tried unplugging the amp (under the steering column)?

My next thing was to unplug the amp and see what happens. Maybe it will reset its self. It's definitely coming from the speakers. I checked to see if was still there with the motor running, so I had to do a head stand and press my ear against it to see if it was still there. Could of checked the rear one without the acrobatics, but what fun would that be. It's a very faint noise, but now I know it's there, it bugs me.
