When ever I roll up/down the passenger side window from either driver/passenger control there is a popping sound over my car's speakers. I own a 2002 Chevy Tahoe with an Eclipse AV8132 H/U, Eclipse PA5422 and a PA4212 amps, with Focal comps. in front and rear, and an Eclipse SW8122.4 sub. My installer thought it was the positive lead connection so he re-routed the conneciton. It still pops and now he thinks my truck has a faulty Body Control Module. Any other ideas or suggestions I should try?

try changing your rca's and make sure your not useing factory speaker wires

they could be sorted out to a window switch wire

This is a common problem that happens when car wiring degrades.... it gives off electrical impulses that your speaker wire picks up as a "poping" you need to replace the OEM speaker wire with a after market kind that will block that noise.... they are usually called "low noise speaker wire"

Check your ground wires if it is on an amp. Check to make sure that you have enough clearance from the speaker and the window to roll down with out banging into it.
