Tweeter sounds "blown" distorting...
I've got the ML system and when I take phone calls the call clarity is pretty bad. It sounds like the tweeter is distorting.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I've also tested CDS and I can pinpoint it down on certain types of frequencies. The right side definitely doesn't do this...
Music mostly sounds ok, but can tell that something just isn't quite right.

So brought the car into the dealership and ended up doing the following:
Replace driver side mid range speaker, Replace driver side tweeter, insulate the front passenger side door panel.
Waiting for the tweeter to come in, so I'll update on sound quality once its all done. Those rattles/distortion were driving me crazy.
Dealership stated I'm one of the first to have this problem, so maybe it was just a fluke in the set of speakers I got. Wouldn't have expected this with the ML system, but guess you never know.

Wait...
It wouldn't be like the crackling sound you get from lets say your IPOD?
My cell phone does that some times when I have a bad signal.. but I know its my phone and not the system itself.

Because when I have strong signal, which is most of the time, the bluetooth system sounds great... But, about 15% of the time, it sounds like crap, most likely due to bad signal... But if I use the handset, I only get bad distortion on the phone like 1-2% of the time...

It has to be the speaker as this also happens during cd playback. When you go from one side of the car it is fine(right side), then fade over to the left side of the car, you hear the distortion.
Also there wouldn't be any distortion from my ipod either as I am using the line out output from the ipod through the dock connector. Not just the mini plug. But the distortion happens on phone calls the most, then on certain frequencies in cd playback.

Hmm haven't converted wma to aac. But everything I have has been converted from CD straight to AAC and I have great quality playback, I convert to 192 AAC, and its crystal clear and no snap crackle or pops.
The only downside is that I can't have aac burned cds playing. But I've got the ipod so doesnt really matter.

I have noticed a reproducible faint crackling which only seems to involve the driver's side passenger door speaker (just behind my head rest) which occurs consistently with the same songs on certain cd's. Since it doesn't happen with all songs or cd's, I assumed it had something to do with the ML surround processing.

I have the same problem and I had my friend who has an audio store and said that the if you listen to the IPOD it will sound like that because of the different frequencies on the IPOD are set different. I still get a werid sound under CD and FM as well so Im going to bring it to my dealers attention.
