i just put my new deck in my truck earlier. (jvc kd-r710) and i tested the 2 front speakers while hooking up speaker wires, they were fine untill i turn them up just a bit then they start to distort and sound staicy. i fiddled around with the speaker wires and checked the connections . it seemed not to help to put most contact to both speaker wires as possible. i have the ground gooing to stock ground from stock headunit.. i could use some help fast, cause theres just a mess in my truck ... ://// i used the features on the headunit and everything would be the same,,,, " speakers would sound staticy for no reason"

When you say "new" do you mean new to you or brand new? How did you connect the wires? Twist and tape?
Try making your own ground.
Its brand new outtta box, i connected them by twisting them and used tape when i got them as best as i could. maybe i will try a new ground thats what i was thinkin

Use butt crimp connectors or solder. Ive seen twisting and taping cause issues even if the connect looks fine.
i will get some connectors tomorow then and see what that handles like

Sounds good. Crimp em good and get back with me! Good luck.
Sounds like it is probably a grounding issue. You can get away with twisting and taping wires in most cases, you just need to make sure you are stripping enough wire so there is plenty of contact. Connecters definetely wont hurt anything though so you may aswell try that aswell.
^^^^Thats what I used to think until I got to messing around with my brothers Sonoma. The speakers would randomly cut out. So I pulled the radio. It was all twist-and-taped together. The connections looked solid enough but when I redid the connection with crimp connectors the cutting-out went away.

Fair enough, most of my electrical experience is with solid wire, not the multistrand people usually use in vehicles. I haven't run into issue with the way I twist wires, but you probably have more car specific wiring experience than I do. Soldering is definetely the way to go anyway, its just not convenient for everyone.
Yes yes. I love soldering. I find it relaxing. Im strange. Hahaha. But it as a pain in the ass in the car.
In theory twisting and taping should be fine, It just seems like some speakers and components are finicky.
