I have a 2020 Sport (7”, non-Alpine) and have been running the following setup since October 2023:
- Fox Acoustics box with 10” Memphis sub under the rear seat
- the box is powered by a 500W RF mono amp, tapped into the soundbar speakers and using a LOC
- stock knee panel speakers
- dash and soundbar using 3.5” Kenwood Excelon speakers with the metra harnesses
up until this week, I’d been extremely happy with the setup. The jeep is a daily driver and I have kids, so I’m not cranking the sub up all the time, but it’s more than enough sound to when I want to.
However, I noticed a scratching/rattling coming from the dash speakers this week, particularly on the bass notes with the volume anything above 10 or 11. Having not heard it before, I played with the equalizer, popped the speakers out and retightened the screws, but nothing made it go away.
i then replaced the kenwoods with a pair of kickers thinking the speakers were just toast, but i still am getting the scratchy/rattling noise. If I hook the speakers up, hold them up to my ear, I can tell the rattle is coming from the speaker itself - not anything loose down in the enclosure.
since it’s happening with both sets of 3.5s though, it seems like it has to be a wiring issue? Any thoughts on what I should replace next??
