Recently after owning the car since May, my speakers have started to make a strange sound when I am listening to music. I have the HK package, car is F32, and when I am listening to music at a moderate volume, not loud by any means, the speakers really sound like they are getting stressed. They make a whining/electric noise at higher frequencies and crackle a little bit in the mid range. For reference, I am streaming on Spotify, however it happens when playing ALAC/FLAK files, whether or not I am using USB, AUX or BT, I've tried them all. It just started to happen completely randomly. It has been rather cold out, I live in Michigan, but I have not had this issue with any other vehicle. I am thinking if the HK package has liquid coils, it could just be that its cold and has not had time to warm up, but its really bothering me and I am wondering what steps I should take to track down the issue and fix it. All the drivers look in-tact, I am really hoping it's not an electrical issue, any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Edit; my equalizer is also set to a common curve, and I am using the logic 7 surround.

If by liquid coils you mean ferro fluid AFAIK they don't have them. Does it do this with the radio? I've never experienced anything like that, even at -10 F.

Have not tried with the radio, I reset the equalizer to flat, no difference, it sounds like its clipping do to overbearing the amp, but at the volume i am listening to its hard to believe i am drawing to much power.

I'd try the radio first, to rule out the other input circuitry.

Just gave the radio a shot, did not hear what I originally heard... that being said, there wasn't much I could find on the radio with the frequencies I am having the issue at.... I also gave it a try on spotify again after flattening the equalizer and curving it again, did not really hear the issue anymore. It is warmed out today hm...
