I have an older Sony Reciever STR-SE545, technic 3 way 15" woofer front speakers, two smaller technic rears, and a technic center. I am having problems with static at low volumes. I have it hooked up using 18 guages wire and the reciever set to 8ohms to match the front speakers.
Any clues on how to fix the static sound?
It its a old receiver it just may be worn. Rotary volume knobs wear to where they produce static as do old connectors. Best fix would most likely be a new receiver.
maybe 66impalass can help - sounds like it needs some pear wires!!!

Would significantly reduce the static…
does it only static crackle when you go up down on the volume/
bad ground somewhere, try moving your set up to a different part of the house and try it again.
usually its the rehistat for the volume control is dirty, clean or buy a new one
and no i cant spell rehostat
RE-AH-STAT
rheostat
from what i’ve read this is the most likely problem long with a bad ground, I’m going to pull the reciever apart tomorrow, clean it and see if that fixes the static.
As for buying new shit I am in college=no money!
Just clean your knob with tuner cleaner.
