It has been hooked up with Bose speakers for several months. Suddenly it is crackling when you turn on the surround sound. It is a pioneer receiver.
Could be a loose connection. Check the connections at the receiver and at the speakers. Is it crackling out of all speakers or just one? if it’s all, then you may have a bad amp in the receiver.

If you check you wires and find that they are ok it is probably a blow speaker. Take a smell of the crackling speaker if it smells bad its probably blown.
Check out the impedence of the speakers and the amp some bose speakers are rated at 4ohms. 4ohm speakers can blow easier because it take much less to drive them. I doubt the speaker are 16 ohm but just incase it could hurt the amp.
Bose speakers are usually pretty robust but so are pioneer amps. Most bose speakers are also rated for 4 or 8 ohm systems and up to 120m watts. the problem is the wattage is about half if you are talking 4 ohms. so basically if you push more than 60 watts on an 8 ohm receiver your speakers will pay the price. And I’m sure your pioneer is rated at more than 60 watts per channel.
Good luck
