So, I'm looking into taking the E30 to a local stereo shop to see if they can fix my stereo, but I'm having trouble figuring out what the problem that I have. I don't know if it's my head unit or if it's something wrong with the wires.
The head unit itself works fine. I can change the source fine, the usb works, the aux works, and the radio works fine too. But when I change the volume up around half max volume, my speakers start making a weird crackling noise. I don't think they're blown, since they worked fine before I took it to my mechanic to sort out an electrical short caused by a bad wiring harness and botched wiring by the PO.
And if I even increase it past half max volume, my speakers just stop playing entirely. What I do know is that the PO did a botched install and wired the power to the head unit to the headlight switch and fucked up the entire interior harness behind the dash. The harness has since been replaced, as well as the headlight switch. According to my mechanic if I remember correctly, there was a short to ground caused by the head unit being wired to the lights.
Any advice?
