checking the speakers to see if they are disconnected checking all fuses that are related to the auto speakers tightening the butt connectors to the speakers replacing all or some of the butt connectors

If your speakers are still not working, I recomMend that you test the auto speakers that don't work directly:

Disconnect each speaker that doesn't work from the car's wires and do the test below, doing one at a time. Use a 9v battery and connect its leads to each auto speaker to be tested for a short moMent. Does the speaker have moveMent? Do you hear the sound usually known as a 'pop' or thump?

If your answers to the questions above are 'yes', your speaker will probably be able to make sound and it is likely to work.

This speaker direct test has two possible results: Either the speaker is not able to make sound or it is. If the first is the case, your speaker are dead and you must replace it. If the latter is the case, you should

run new speaker wires and rewire perform the 'popper' tests to get the polarity correct as described above

Now, if this problem still persists you can at least rest assure that the reason is not your speaker. The reason is probably one of the following: Either it is caused by

problems in the deck itself or the connections from the deck.

In this case I recomMend that you contact a vehicle stereo repair shop or do a search online to get information about how to fix these problems.

Car Speaker Noise--How To Delete It

First, you must understand that this is simply interference or induced noise. Induced noise can sound like clicking, popping, whirring, buzzing, whistling, or whining. This noise always has a source such as the alternator, power wiring, car amplifier, etc. So this means that the problem can be tackled at the source. Now, you just have to find it.

Power line noise problems (such as those from alternators) can be fixed by adding a capacitor or power line Filter to the live source of the suspectcomponent.

Another area to investigate is the earth, also known as ground wire to the rear of the radio or head unit. Try running a new earth or ground wire from the rear of the radio to a new position (earth) on the car's chassis, replacing the existing earth wire.

If you have installed an amplifier, ensure that the RCA cables running from the head unit to the amp are of good quality. Also make sure they are run along the car away from the car's existing wiring and away from the amplifier's power cable. For the sake of testing, try running the RCA lead loosely between the head unit and the amplifier without actually running them under the carpet. "Rev" your engine with the radio on low volume and see if the noise is gone.
