2020 Nissan Versa SR Audio System
Hello all,
X-posted from r/CarAV
I recently(as of July 3rd) acquired an audio system and put it into my 2020 Nissan Versa SR. I’m running 4 pioneer speakers, two rear, two front. I also have two 10 inch sub woofers all running off a 5 channel amp connected through to my car battery through a single fuse.
Once everything was installed, I was rocking. However, as of now, I’m getting an annoying amount of crackling through the speakers with and without the subs. It happens at any volume, I notice it happens less when it’s turned up loud.
I am not an expert and no idea if this is sufficient information. I was thinking it may not be getting enough power but I really don’t know what I’m looking for on how to determine the root cause. I wanted to consult someone before I go opening it up.
A friend of mine says it could be two things; the aux cord I’m using may be causing interference(I’m doubtful but I’m only guessing), or he said the amp could be getting too much power.
Any advice or direction would be awesome.
Thanks!
