Ok, so I just installed a stack on my 07 CC/SB with stock stereo. I was getting on the highway, windows down, radio up until the speakers got staticy. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so what can I do. My treble and bass are half way up.

Probably blew your speakers trying to hear your music over the obnoxious stack. I had to take my stack off my dodge because I couldn't even hear myself think

The stacks make the noise in the cab horrible, that is why i took my off.

Yea, I like the sound of the stack but probably because I dont drive it but once or twice a week.

Speakers are fine when truck is off or just idling.

well the speakers are fine at idle because you dont have the need to put the radio on full blast to hear it. whereas at 2000+ rpms you cant hear anything except for the screaming monster in your exhaust getting sodomized

I have no issues with my stack and stereo, but I have an aftermarket system. Only time I hate my stack is if I have passengers and am having a conversation, otherwise I just listen to my music.

If the speakers are cracking when all the way up they are no good. If you keep the stack and want to hear the music invest in a better system. When I had my lbz with stacks I had a nice system in it and could hear it no matter what was going on outside. Speakers cranking at loud volume only you probably blew a speaker out

No offense but this seems like a stupid question.. You just moved the exhaust to a few inches away from the cab, and then rolled the windows down, and wonder why you can't hear your music?? I am running a 7" single on my LB7 and if I put all 4 windows down it is deafening while under hard acceleration.

You have 3 options, keep windows up, upgrade sound system so it can handle higher volumes, or get quieter exhaust(tail pipe).

Took mine off because the noise just gets annoying on any length of trip with the family and it blows soot all over everything. Now I have a quiet truck and an upgraded stereo system that I can actually enjoy

Make it easy: Take the stack off so you can hear your music, and get some Dodge tow mirrors and a hood scoop to make up for the loss in horsepower.
