Okay, as some of you may know already, I am getting a very obnoxious buzzing noise coming from my rear speakers when I turn on my headlights. So here are my questions:
1.) Is anyone else having this problem? Have you gotten it fixed and how?
2.) Does anyone know what could be causing this, besides just telling me that the electrical system/stereo system sucks? Is there some component on our cars that creates an abundance of interference that I might be able to put a filter on so that it does not interfere with the rear speakers?
3.) If in fact it is not some component, but perhaps just a horrible audio signal coming from the head unit, does anyone have a high-to-low converter that they are using where there is no buzzing present? Or do you know of something that might work? I've head of the JL CleanSweep, however I am not very thrilled about the idea of losing my factory volume controls.
Please let me know, this is so annoying.

From my experience, speakers will buzz when they're not getting enough power, however, the stereo shop should know that and have checked for that. Not sure if there's a piece of equipment that would filter that out.
