Speakers Buzzing?

[JBW1997]

My speakers are buzzing like they are blown. The problem is that it is all of them. I just recently got the car so I am not sure how long this has gone on for. I am tending to believe that it might be a loose connection on the radio or amplifier. Has anyone had a similar experience. The car is a 97 RT/10.

Factory or aftermarket? Buzzing on CD, radio, or both?

Is the buzzing constant, or does it vary with the music?

 

[JBW1997]

The system is all stock. It buzzes with CD and radio, but not all the time. The other thing is that it buzzes at low volume as well as higher volume. I have had blown speakers before, but usually they only buzz at higher volume.

Buzzing??? Take the pipe away!!! Sorry ya'll, I had to do it!! Does it buzz when the volume is "all the way off" or just when the volume is turned up?

my 94 does it every now and then.Almost seems like the fuel pump kindda buzz on mine and seems to still do it when i shut the car off for the first few seconds anyways.But it does tend to come more from the center two speakers.

Just to clarify, it does not do this with the stereo "off" correct?

Does the frequency of the buzzing change as you rev the engine?

How old are your spark plug wires?

Look at the speakers. Mine were blown in my 97. They are super easy to check.

 

[JBW1997]

The buzzing is only when the radio is on. It could be called static or a scratchy noise. It sounds like blown speakers. It doesn't do it with the volume off, but you can hear it at low levels like 4 or 5. How did you check for blown speakers? Are they available from Dodge or should I go to the aftermarket if it is the speakers?

Does the frequency of the noise change with engine rpm?

On the doors just remove the speaker covers (4 phillips head screws). In the back, I think you just pull the carpet liner away from the speakers. If I remember right, the speaker grills are built into the carpet liner. It's real easy, just get out there and look at it.

The noise is does not change with the engine. It is not an ignition noise. Sometimes it does not do it at all.

So it does it with the engine off? When it does it?

I have a sound like a blown subwoofer,since my 2008 was new.I have turned the bass way,way down so as to minimize the noise but it is still there.I have never cranked the stereo either.I did not have it replaced because
a)I rarely listen to the stereo
b)no competent dealerships that I trust to remove the trim pieces necessary
to do the work.

 

[JBW1997]

Amen. It is hard to find someone competent. I ordered the service manual. I intend to work on the car myself.

The best mechanic you will ever meet is in the mirror. The service manual will get you there.
