Radio Issues

Not sure if this is the right forum for this but here goes anyway. Has anyone else had any problems with their H/K sounds system. I've noticed a few times while I'm driving that I'll here some crackling coming from the speakers. I'm not sure if that has to do with the iPod adapter, my XM, the radio, or the speakers themselves. Any input would be helpful. Thank you!

It is a common problem with the speaker rattling in the door. It's not blown, or damaged, just have to put some foam absorbing pad in to hold it in place.

That should/would sound more like a ticking, and it should only happen with a Nextel/Sprint as they use the frequency for walkie talkie...From my experience it won't do it with other phones.

Also, try removing the rear access panels on both sides. Mine vibrate and buzz worse than the passenger door ever did.
