Default SC400 Radio Help

Had posted this in audio but never gets attention

My radio is making this weird noise it goes like do do do do do do do
every station

I had someone look at it told me it was my radio so I bought a new one and installed wired it up today and same noise (he'll never be looking at my car again haha). I checked the fuses in the engine bay and kicker I found out their 2 for radio haha. Both looked fine to me. What could make this noise or what could I check?

Also when I installed my new window motor and regulator I had to do a lot of unplugging wiring nothing really to do with the audio but I know the speaker in that region is there something maybe I forgot to plug back in that would case this? Im 99% sure I didn't miss anything but who knows... Just throwing this out there cause im puzzled at this point.

My auto antenna has always been broken since I got the car about 8-12 months ago. Radio has always worked until recently...Didn't try CD but my ipod hookup with a no no.

Video of sound (may have to turn volume up)

nfordhk, Your speakers might be blown, especially if they are stock.

My rears went out, which made the front fail. If you have the stocks still in the car, I'm positive (95%) that your stock radio wasn't broke and it's the speakers. I would test the rear speakers with a cheap small 2inch speaker in the trunk.

Im not interested in buying an 800 dollar one haha I might just go pick up a new one from my local audio shops for that price rather then having it rebuilt
