Speakers popping at high volume

[jarod027]

hey all, i am hoping you can help me with a problem i am having. I just installed a new radio, front, and rear speakers in a geo prizm.

The back speakers worked when i used the original factory plugs (spliced wire to the new speaker), but the front ones did not work.

So, to bypass the factory plus, I put speakers wire directly from the front speakers, to the wiring harness. However, the factory harness did not have left and right front and left/right back.

So, what i did was splice the front left and back left together, and the back right, front right together.

Now, I when I put the volume at a high levels, the speakers pop/crackle. I am assuming this is because i have two speakers on the same wire? if so, what else can I do

Can you possibly post a vid. of it?

I am just guessing here but you said you have two speakers on one wire (channel). you probably wired them in parallel which (assuming they are 4 ohm speakers) dropped your impedance to 2 ohms and most head units can not run well at 2 ohms. you said the back speakers worked fine when they were on their own wire (channel) so that is why I think this. what head unit are you using and what speakers.
