Did you use plug adapters? What brand? A little more info would be helpful.

Yes I used an adapter. Its a dual head unit. It does it no matter if its am/fm/aux. On all speakers.

With and without. If the volumes up it crackles in all speakers. Looks like someone replaced the speakers before with pioneers but they look like crap.

Yes I am using the infinity amp. I was mistaken. Its only the front speakers doing it. I believe they are blown.

That could be a contributing factor.
