Popping usually means that the speaker is blown.

Do you still have the factory system in or have you had it replaced? You can fade out the speaker with the controls to verify it. If it is one of the rears, fade it to the front. No popping from those, the you can rule out the stereo and look to getting new speakers.

If all the speakers are doing it, then we can rule out the speakers. Below 22 volume would tell me you either have a bad ground or a bad amp. Most likely the amp though.

If you are losing sound at all, you can look at a bad ground. If you are not losing sound and have the constant popping, then it will be more towards the amp. Ground can be repaired cheaply but if it is the amp, it will require to be replaced.

Did you buy it new? Do you still have the warranty? If so, take it to the dealer as both would be covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. If it is out of warranty, it will be cheaper to take it to a car audio place as they are much cheaper.

It is always nice to have Dodge techs here who can shed light on active TB's.

By reading it though, it looks like I am right on the amp then. LOL!!

Your VIN is needed. You can get it off your registration. The TSB is bulletin mentioned above . He will run your VIN to to see if your car needs it.
