the goose needs YOUR help!

hey guys. some minor problems (i hope)

this is very weird.

if my raido is on, sometimes it makes some loud static/cracking noise from the deck,(those little speakers on the back of the deck) it kinda sounds like an ellactrical spark and then like electricity cracking, but its not. and then if i press the window button, or the rool bar button, or the AC, it gets louder/more intence. i have no clue wtf it is. please help if you can!!

oh, and it is the Bose system..

Try isolating problem speaker(s) with

... balance (left/right) or fader (front/back) control knobs. It probably is connector come loose or wire that has been stripped or exposed. Do you remember when this started or what precipitated this problem?

Vibration probably , bad solder job on one of the connections in the back of the deck or possibly in the wiring harness.Time to poke around and start checking connections.
