Hi all, need help troubleshooting a problem or where to start looking. I have a very simple set up in my boat(understatement ) pioneer deck and 4 6x9's. Anyways we were just sitting at the beach listening to tunes and after about 30 minutes the right side speakers(front and back) start crackling. The radio wasn't that loud that I thought the speakers blew, but I changed them anyways and it still does it anytime I try to turn the volume up to a decent level. I have the same speakers on the othe side and when I turn only them on they can handle it no problems. So any tips why just the one side is bad, is it in the deck(maybe something overheated and fried?) or can wires go bad, should I run a new set? Thanks for any tips...
Is it a Kenwood?
Could be cold solder joints on the outputs or an IC about to go out and clips at a point when the volume is turned up...

Also got a battery question. I run two batteries and a perko. Both positives go to the perko switch and on battery #1 the negative is grounded to the engine block and on Battery #2 the negative runs to the negative post on battery#1, is this right? There are a couple ways they could have done this, but yes it is correct.
