Ford Repair: 93 Ford Explorer, static sound, volume knob

Question
I have a 1993 Ford Explorer Eddie Baur. Last night my radio stopped working properly. When I turn the volume all the way up all I get it a slight static sound and partial station reception. I can barely hear it even when I put my ear up to the speakers on full volume. It occured as I was driving and right before it stopped working properly I heard a few "popping" noises coming from the passenger front side of my truck. I partially got the radio out and checked the wires in the back and they seem to be all snug. The antenna itself is fine as well. What else could this be? ANY HELP APPRECIATED - and please be detailed as I am a first time Explorer owner.

Thanks so much!

Answer
Mr. Whiteis,

Unfortunately, I do not know much about radios. It is possible that you have blown your speakers or your volume knob went. Othert han that I do not have any other suggestions for you. I am sorry and I wish you the very best of luck.
