Whining Speakers...now popping!!

ok stock HU, stock speakers...

recently, right channel front has been whining when i guess when there is electronic interference (i.e. turning on headlights, opening window etc...) like a sinusoidal wave-sound kinda.

plus no sound really in the right channel. I bumped it up fast one time, and now it popps. just the two higher-channel speakers on the passenger front.

I have no money, and no real need to power up my system, I just use it for news, some beats etc...

should i:

1. replace HU with a cheap OEM from ebay?
2. Replace speakers?
3. Replace harness/wires?

i can't isolate the problem...im not a seasoned vet in stereo equip...so any help would be appreciated!! thanks!!

if you have any kind of amp other than the stock amp, its probably ur stock amp causing interference, just disconnect it!

thanks for the quick reply! but, all of what I know, leads me to believe I have a stock amp. i havent even really touched the amp at all in the back. =\ should i?

i had the same problem, i recently changed the HU, added subs and changed the kick panel speakers, and had a bad hiss. I actually ended up replacing all the speakers, 2 aftermarket amps , ran new wires and had the stocl amp unhooked. turns out the stock amp was the problem. basically, stock systems suck ass, so you dont have many choices.
