Sinatra Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I just bought a bran new Kenwood Sr505 to hook up to my klipsch KG 4.5. If I play a song with a lot of highs i start to hear a crackle that sorta sounds like static. I tried numerous things but it does not change. I think it might be because the speakers are old and the reciever is new, thats my best guess. Please help. -Sinatra ______________________________________________________ "Food,water,sound....Pick two." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Dat na gut! My GUESS (see, guess) is that, if you say this only happens when the sound is loud, is either a bad tweeter, or that there is somthing broken in the amp. Some sort of interference if possible. You said you have tried everything, thats what you need to do. Try and hook up another pair of speakers to the amp to test it. I'm sure others may have better info, but just keep messing with it. I have had those sort of problems. ------------------ Receiver: Sony STR-DE675 CD player: Sony CDP-CX300 Turntable: Technics SL-J3 with Audio-Technica TR485U Speakers: JBL HLS-610 Subwoofer: JBL 4648A-8 Sub amp: Parts Express 180 watt Center/surrounds: Teac 3-way bookshelfs Yes, it sucks, but better to come. KLIPSCH soon! My computer is better than my stereo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Remove the screws from the Tractrix horn and gently remove the tweet/horn. Unhook wire,making note of color/polarity,and GENTLY tighten the (3?) screws that hold the driver to the horn.Ear test. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 If this only happens when you are playing loud, you may be clipping the amp. Where is the volume control set? Have the bass turned up? Amp clipping can sound just like your description and it WILL damage speakers. Even if the speakers are rated to handle more power than the receiver puts out.

Sinatra Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 Yo bob thats what happened at first. ON the lest side of the reciever there would be a little blinking light that would say clip. To fix it i lowered the imput. The little clip sign turned off but the static is still loud and clear. -Sinatra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
