Default Passenger Speaker Buzz

It's been a while that I have had a this annoying passenger speaker "buzz" or "humm"

All info about it should be here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...c=598237&st=0&

I've been trying to track it down for about a few months now and narrowed it down to a ground loop or a bad deck (my deck has a strange problem with ejecting discs) I went to some shops and they said they will charge $75 just to look at whats the problem

Are any of you or anyone you know (shop or friend) willing to fix this problem for me? I will pay for your help. Thanks

The car is grounded; this means that a negative charge is running across the car.

Make sure that your positive wire to the speaker is not pinched between the speaker or touching the door in any way.

The positive lead should run clean to the back of the speaker - this is the most common mistake which leads to speaker engine noise.

Check all your grounds for anything you touched for the install & make sure all positive leads are cleanly terminated.

Sometimes poor shielding of the wires car cause this too, so you may need to switch to a higher gauge wire or shield the existing wire.
