Buzzy Alpine Speakers

[FrankFrqnkFrank]

This is pretty elementary, so apologies in advance. But my overhead right speaker was getting buzzy, beyond resonant frequencies. I do listen to it very loud. I thought I’d start with the simple - and snugging the speaker cover screws took care of the buzzing!

Speaker is blown. I blew mine without getting loud within a month. Take it to the stealership.

Maybe you missed - loose screws, tightening took care of it.
If it was blown, it wouldn't sound worth a shit.
He tightened screws, no more buzzing.
I've maxed mine out several times, I doubt this tiny premium amp will do much damage. When the top is off, I crank it. I've had it out in the yard cutting up trees and open the doors and crank the radio (because the truck is there, and handy)

I used to run many times that power through my systems years ago. If these blow speakers that easily, they are crap speakers.

Same issue here but coming from the sub behind the middle seat. Mid to really low range bass makes a terrible buzzing noise and rattles the rear slider window. Anyone else have an issue with the sub ?

Before you jump to the Blown Speaker Conclusion, check to see all panels are seated and screws are snug. It might be worth the trouble to add some sound treatment behind large plastic panels also.

Mine buzz like crazy too, almost all of them. I'll check for loose screws. The sub buzzes pretty bad with the bluetooth speaker installed. I tried some foam strips on the back of the bluetooth speaker and that helped a little.

What's everyone doing for sound treatment? Just the dynamat type stuff?

What "volume number" is everyone running at to get buzzing - I've had mine cranked to what I thought was getting uncomfortable and didn't detect a "buzz".

I would say “11” but the system isn’t a 1-10 scale. For older music with less dynamic range and less bass, I’m often 35+. For more modern music I often have to max out below 30.

Sorry I didn’t give this update earlier. A further enhancement was neoprene washers on both sides of the caver on each screw.
