    Radio/speaker issues

    Hey everyone,

    I am having some sound issues in my new (to me) ZHP. I hear cracking and popping in the rear speakers, the right front door speakers do not work at all, and the left front door speakers only kick in when I turn the volume way up, they make a buzzing noise when volume is low. I LOVE the harmon sound, so I'm hoping I have wiring issues. My factory nav screen is out and static"y" and comes on intermittently. I am hoping that the factory radio is just crap and going completely out, I was wondering if anyone has had any of these issues and what was the fix. Thanks for reading!

    Yikes. Haven't seen these problems before. Not sure where to recommend you start. Maybe the HU is crapping out

    Ehhhhhh yeah could be the HU but more likely the amp actually. First step is check your connections both in the HU and then in the amp. Turn it on and see if they are loose and it comes back if you wiggle it or something.

    If the HU screen is out/staticy, it seems like a fairly probable suspect to me.
