gregs89oldscutlass Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I have a 89 cutlass supreme international series and I want to keep the car originial, The radio has started to making hissing sounds and the right front speakers constantly pop and crack. Is this problem in the radio or the amp for this particular model. The radio that I have is the all pushbutton am/fm cassette with 5 band EQ. Thanks, Greg 89 OLDS cutlass supreme international series 92 Chevrolet Blazer 98 GMC Sonoma 99 OLDS alero (total piece of crap) Quote
1990lumina Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Playing a casette will rule out the radio. If it still pops you could have a lose wire, or a bad channel in your amp. I don't know why there would be hissing.. dirty connection? I know my gradmpas car used to click and pop because of a bad ground wire.. maybe you have a bad ground to your amp or deck.. - Jeff L.

gregs89oldscutlass Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 It does it with both the radio and the cassette. I don't know for sure where the amp for the radio is located but it is a pretty interesting setup. Over on at the fog light switch is a AUDIO BASS LEVEL control which controls the levels of the subwoofers in the rear deck. It would be a good setup if the popping and cracking would stop. Greg Quote
TheCutlassGuru Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 hey thats kinda weird. my name's greg and i have a 89 cutlass international Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I think I have the same sound system as you. Is it this one? Mine did the same thing about a year ago. It persisted for about 6 months and then mysteriously stopped. The popping hasn't happened since! Quote
gregs89oldscutlass Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 That is the same radio that is in mine, so yours stopped popping and cracking. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 It's most likely the deck itself. I went through 3 casette decks that did the same thing. Put in a Delco CD deck and it stopped. Quote
GP1138 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 If you had a GP I would say replace the amp. That did it for my GP. Try replacing that head unit, it'll take care of your problem. Quote
