Problem with Dash Tweeter, Crackling feedback

[JeffreyG 10+ year member]

I just got my sub & amp installed at and I'm noticing a crackling noise coming from the tweeter on the dash of my Jeep GC. I've had a blow tweeter before but it was different. This noise doesn't go away when I fade/balance to other speakers and it doesnt go away when the volume is at 0.

The install was good, the sub sounds great, and they even have the bass knob mounted flush on the center compartment. The only thing I can think of is that they hit the speaker wire when installing the amp to the HU or something. Any suggestions as to what happened?

you have a ground loop. The noise is engine noise.

What do I do to fix it?

Make sure all your wires are connected. Make sure they are in good contact and if that doesn't help, buy a ground loop isolater from Walmart or a better one if you feel you need it.
