JVC LCD "popping" from speaker?	Can't Post

I have a JVC 37" LCD TV that I purchased about two years ago. A few weeks ago the left side speaker started "popping" whenever we changed channels or turned the TV on or off. At first I thought it was my HDMI connection from my DirecTV box so I hooked it back through component cables and it was still doing it. It has got worse. For a few days the left speaker didn't work at all and the metal on the outside of the TV right where the speaker would be was hot to the touch. However, last night the speaker was working but still had a popping sound in that area. Other speaker works fine. So I am not sure if its the actual speaker or some electrical interferance making the sound. Any idea what this would be?

Is it worth my time to try to take the back of the TV off myself and see if its a loose connection? Or should I just call a tech? Don't want something else to fry in there if its electrical.

Turn off the unit and detached the speaker wiring. You are right about being loose connection since the wire may be too thin at 16 gauge. Re-wire the whole thing, if you have something thicker the better. if not, re-cut the wire at about an inch and fold it into 3 sections and twist. thick enough to fit inside the +/- hole. Make sure the +/- plastic holder can still grip tight with speaker wire. The popping sound comes from being loose causing it to sparks, the longer you ignore, it causes the heat. The tv should be fine.
