Default clicking speakers with accelerator and reception

tonight coming home from work my speakers were clicking/popping, i let off the gas and it went away, give it gas and it comes back, what would be the reason for this? i know older vehicles had the little thing that helped with that, does ours? also, how can i improve my radio reception?

Are you hearing this out of all of them, or just the fronts?

This just started happening? Have you checked your plug wires, or replaced them recently?

I'd come close to thinking you've popped a channel on the amp. You might try turning down the line signal and see if that helps. Could also be that you have a wire in the engine bay that's bare and that's where you are hearing the engine noise.

sounds like your picking up interference from your alternator. Try checking your main power supply line to your amp. I know i had the same problem with my stereo and it was because i bought a cheaper power feed wire, picked up a higher end one and the problem was gone.
