Hi all,

I've noticed a static type noise coming from what i believe are called the tweeters on the front doors not the bottom main ones, Is this normal on the Elite/Bose set-up, As I've noticed the GLS ones are silent. But saying that the Ones on the elite are barely noticeable when the volume is up not too loud just average, That static in the video is with the volume on one click roughly.

Picture of the speaker/tweeter in question but both front ones seem to do it...


Video of the sound..

Don't know if you can hear it the same in the video, doesn't look like it just had a watch 


Thanks in advance...

Ok a quick update, Pulled the one off the Elite but then checked the GLS it doesn't have one on the drivers side but the passenger side does and it is quiet, Are they supposed to make a little static type sound ? and what's the point of them i could just disconnect them but I'm sure they are there for a reason

The Tweeters are are part of the Speaker set up to provide the high notes (Treble).

On the GLS the tweeters are hooked to the HU Amps channels using a Passive Cross Over, in the Elites (Bose) there connected to the Active Amps Channel outputs, so they do the same job just in a different set up configuration.

Is the noise definitely coming from the tweeters?, the tweeters wont generate any static noise on there own more likely to be the Amp, or faulty capacitor in the crossover. Check there is sound coming from the tweeter itself as it could be a input issue to the Amp and the Amp is generating or compressing the noise with no input.

I'm sure it's coming from the tweeter area put my ear against it while its in place got 2 replacements coming cheap enough to rule them out or not. Is the amp/capacitor those things behing the tweeter ?

Amp in Boot, Crossover (Capacitor and Coil) should be part of the Tweeter behind it in the same plastic housing.

Thanks Rob

Replaced the tweeters and they still make a noise that must be how they are then  checked the boot, rear seats etc no noise but just from the 2 front tweeters not loud just there.
