lambeauleap Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Hi, One of my two bookshelf speakers goes “click click click…” when I turn on the amp. I bought B-200 Black bookshelf speakers and am connecting to a Pyle 5-channel amp. At first install, both speakers work great and played beautiful music. The second time, speaker A goes “click click click click click”. I adjusted the wire connection on amp, switching speaker A and B from left to right. Speaker A went “click…” again. I then fixed the bare wire connection on Speaker A, and the “click” went away. But, on day 3, the “click” returns. I try adjust wire connection multiple ways and can’t get the “click” to stop. I am a novice for audio. I stripped the wire with a scissors and am not using banana plugs. Please let me know how to troubleshoot this further and determine what the underlying issue might be. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Welcome to the Forum! So You say the noise is moving with the speaker... I think, just to be sure, could You make a picture of the terminal with the wire connected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondoro Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 also, did you move the leads with the speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambeauleap Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hi Andre and Pondoro. Thanks for your responses. I got the speakers to work again without a click. I just reconnected the red wire into the amp. The clicking went away and the sound returned. Perhaps the bare wire connection is just a bit sensitive? Apologies for the delay in getting back on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is you had it shorted. I didn't like the way it looked just judging from the picture you posted. I think it's very likely some bare wire from the positive terminal was touching bare wire from the negative terminal. Glad you got it worked out though.

AndreG. Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 There are bananaplug-like connectors on Amazon for gear like Yours with clamp-connectors in the back. Just one example: https://www.amazon.de/Geflochtener-Bananenstecker-Audio-Buchsenanschluss-Lautsprecherkabel-korrosionsbeständig/dp/B08DMSR4KL/ref=pd_sim_1/257-1181642-6192829?pd_rd_w=5rzYz&pf_rd_p=904108be-63c8-423f-8039-eaaf91407844&pf_rd_r=209JWF1SXPVY2E14YGBD&pd_rd_r=b93919b8-c96c-4a6d-8099-80aa34a30def&pd_rd_wg=jY4wm&pd_rd_i=B08DMSR4KL&psc=1 That should get rid of fuzzy cable ends.
