Hi, guys!

Recently I noticed that when I play with my head unit's settings, that my rear left speaker makes a crackling/static noise when I play around with the volume/fader/balance controls. It's especially noticeable when I mute all the other speakers.

If I use my imagination, I think I can here 's' sounds also sounding a bit static from this speaker, although I'm not 100% sure it it's indeed the case...

Is this a sign of a bad ground, blown speaker or poor connection?

Sorry, I thought my signature showed my setup. This is it:

Headunit: Kenwood KDC-X889
Stereo amp: Kenwood KAC-8452
Mono amp: Kenwood KAC-8152D
Front stage: Kenwood KFC-P403
Rear fill: Kenwood KFC-6909
Sub: Kenwood KFC-W3514DVC

It's the left 6×9 that's giving the problem.
