I have a Fosgate Stage 1 Dual 4 ohm 12"" sub in a ported box and its acting a fool right now. When the power is turned on for the car the amp kicks on and the sub starts moving up and down on its own with no music playing and it does this constantly and it sounds like crap. What could cause the sub to move involuntarily of tghe music....wiring? something else....any help is appreciated. thanks
If your rca's are fine, try taking a piece of wire, and ground the rca's. Just touch one end to something metal in your car, and the other end on the end of your rca. I've people have grounded rca's before, and it helped.
It might be the RCAs. Every time I tap the RCAs on the terminal end where it connects to the amp a loud pop is given off by the sub? Would soemthing like this cause the sub to move up and down on its own with no music playing?
it actually stopped for no reason i could think of. i unhooked everything and hooked it back up. i put the ground at a different point and it still moved on its own. But about 5 minutes later it just stopped moving on its own. its really strange and if starts up again i will need some advice i guess
Just when back and read the comment about it moving up & down, sounds like the capacitor inside the amplifier or EQ X-over for the sub bass, or one of the VR variable resistors, friend, take the amplifier in for a check over before you do major damage that will cost a whole lot more....
it started moving on its own again this morning. And a new problem came up, my battery was drained when I tried to start it up. The amp never shut off and drew power throughout the night. What would cause the amp to never shut off and drain my battery? Could that also be a factor in the involuntary movement?
to test is the RCAs are messed up I got a new pair of RCAs and hooked them up. The sub did the same thing and moved on its own without music still. So the problem is not the RCAs
you prolly have the remote wireatached to the wrong blue wire behind your reciever. switch it to the other blure wire or the one that says remote wire or rem.
Tapping on the end of your rca's isn't gonna prove anything. Yes, they will make some noise if you tap the ends, that doesn't necessarily meen they are bad. Anybody here play guitar? It's kinda like when you have the amp on with the chord plugged in, but not plugged into the guitar. Touch the free end, you'll get a lot of noise.
I have a Kicker L5 12" woofer in a vented box with a Rockford fosgate 6001bd 600rms but it isn't really bassing very deep like I feel it should I had 2 Sony explode 10" that bassed harder than the 1 L5 can anyone tell me why....is it the vented box? The 10's were in a closed box do you think that is the diff...closed vs vented? Please help if anyone knows anything or suggestions. thank you
