loud crackling in speaker

My right front speaker on my '91 Buick LeSabre has been cracking and snapping whenever the radio is on, reguardless of the volume I have the radio at. I've checked the fuses. What else could this be?

Did you check if it was blown? I wouldn't think it was the actual radio reciever because all the speakers would have that crackle.

the fuse was not blown. it seems to come and go, too, like when I'm going over bumps.

Loose connection in the wiring, perhaps?

how would I know, and if it was, how would I fix it?

I personally have no idea - never worked with the audio in cars before. Having said that, I did have the same issue with my computer speakers - they would start "buzzing" the minute you turned them on, and you'd have to whack them a few times to shut them up. Turned out that was the wiring, so I thought it worthwhile to mention.

Try stopping at a sound system shop and ask the people that deal with it every day,maybey even stop at a couple of them,some are realy honest.
