2004 Tahoe - speakers are crackling, the 2 rear door and 2 gate/pillar speakers just pop and crackle. i bought OEM replacements and they still crackle so im thinking its the internal amp? i replaced the factory stereo with an Alpine, but never noticed a difference for a couple months and then a few weeks ago this happened.

you will need to rewire inputs and outputs at the amp/ or just use all new speaker wire to all the speakers from your stereo directly and forget about factory stuff. You should be able to wiring for the radio circuits from The Mitchel on demand at partsource or i can email them to you. There is a wire kit that should have been used to install the alpine, no sense in worrying about that now but, at least now you know what happens when you don't use the right parts. I Hope this helps. you will need to rewire inputs and outputs at the amp/ or just use all new speaker wire to all the speakers from your stereo directly and forget about factory stuff.

if the adaptor you used had rca hookups in it then you will have to hook up the wires from the deck and run them to the amp. the Bose amp should be under center console towards the back by the armrest. if the adaptor you used had rca hookups in it then you will have to hook up the wires from the deck and run them to the amp. the Bose amp should be under center console towards the back by the armrest.
