so out of the blue i started getting static on the low end when i turn my unit up loud. Sounds like papernbeing crumpled with each note especially the bass. Since its a jeep with a soft top i have to have it loud when moving so my $700 stereo system is currently useless. Heres what i know

Does it with the sub disconnected
Does it regardless of audio source, (Aux, bluetooth, tuner and usb)
Does it with antennae dosconnected
Does it regardless of which speaker u isolate (there are 4 mids and two tweeters and a thumper) and whichever fade and balance u use
Replaced the head unit, no help
All connections have been thoroughly cleaned
The head unit came with a vehicle specefic wiring harness that i’ve also replaced with a new one. No help

Just get a new car. That should fix the problem.

And less costly at this point

Paper crumpling description makes it sound like blown out speaker cones; are they factory speakers or aftermarket?

They’re all aftermarket. It would mean all 6 are blown since it does it regardless of which one u isolate. But i guess thats possible.

Less likely, being aftermarket, unless you've been, say, constantly cranking them hard to hear over the wind noise.

What else would affect all the speakers? Are they running off an external amp or just the head unit?

Just the head which shouldnt push enough to hurt the speakers.
