Chances are your speaker is combination siren/driver and is supervised
by the alarm control panel.  This means that there's voltage on the
driver circuit.  The "pop" may or may not be "normal".  As with anything
electronic, you may have to replace the siren/driver unit.  What make
and model is your system's main control and how many siren's/speakers do
you have??
