stereo problem

[offroadxj07]

I am having a stereo problem in my xj. When I center the balance on the cd player it starts making weird noises when there is any bass. I have to change the balance almost completly to the left side to make the noise stop. Also when I removed my front speakers it made the sound then as well. What can I do to fix this problem since my stereo sounds a little weird when it is only to the left side

you may have a crossed speker wire someware. im assuming its an aftermarket head unit.

ya it is aftermarket. The guy who owned it before me put some 6x9 speakers ont he rear hatch. Could he have wired it wrong?

What kind of weird noise are we talking about? Hiss, crackling, static, hum, clicking? Could be a number of problems from lousy wiring, to running power next to speaker lines, to unsecured speakers, etc...

It is crackling but also sounds like electricity would sound. It is a really weird noise. If I bring my balance to the center I can play it normal at low volume but if I get it even moderatly loud it starts making the sound, mainly at times with bass. I wish I could find a video of a similar sound because it is very hard to put words to it. lol sorry if that didnt help much I will think for a while and maybe ask some other people how I could describe the soudn if I cant find a video on youtube
