Issue with crackling speakers
Posted: July 16th, 2020, 2:56 am
Hello,
I just hooked my speakers up to the GBFans sound board and tested it out for the first time. Unfortunately, both speakers crackle almost constantly at higher volumes (over about 50%). The problem seems to be worse for the start up and hum sounds, but not so bad for the stream sound. Here are the speakers' specs:
Boss Audio SK553 5.25" 3-way 275W speaker pair
- Power Handling:
Peak: 137 watts
RMS: 67 watts
- Black Metallic Poly Injection Cone
- 1" (25mm) High Temperature Aluminum Voice Coil
- 1" (25mm) Mylar Dome Midrange
- 1/2" (13mm) Piezo Tweeter
- 4 ohms impedance
- Frequency Response: 85Hz - 20kHz
- Sensitivity: 90 dB
I wired them in series, following the instructions for the sound board. I used brand new 18-gauge wire and all of the solder joints are good and strong.
I'm not sure what's causing it. Has anybody encountered this problem before? Anybody have experience with these speakers? I'd appreciate any help I can get.
