Windows down causes speaker distortion

Has anyone ever experienced this? Whenever I put the power windows down in my F-350 I get a lot of distortion from at least one speaker.

Could putting the window down cause a preassure change in the cab thus exagerating the distortion in an already weak speaker?

Thanks!

i never had that problem. i noticed my bass getting louder and more deep actually. no difference with my speakers either. its due to more air avabile inside the cab and more movement. i dont remember the technicals but all i know is, put the window(s) bout half way and it gets louder and deeper.

I would check the ground on your radio or amp if you have one. I sounds like EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) I haven't seen this in using the window but kinda common with motor noise. Also in my job we have to ensure there is no EMI or it will affect unknow systems. Hope this might give you a new avenue to follow
