Everything was fine but i was driving today and all of a sudden my subs were making noise. and it wasnt like clipping or anything but while my bass was playing the subs would also play like different beats in the background. And when i turned the volume down or muted the head unit my subs would be just beating. not rapidly just like bump... bump... bump. i have no idea what this is. any help would be appreciated thanks. also my bass boost is down all the way and my gains was set correctly. |

Maybe you can isolate the bad channel in the wires (assuming that's the problem). Either way you're in for another set. Is it a decent set of cables you're running? If not try investing in a good set, it's worth the investment. Many times quality cables outlast the equipment they're connecting triple fold. |

Bronze Member Username: Ridicbass07060Sonances wangin Post Number: 89 Registered: Apr-09 | oh yea and my head unit is this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16198_Farenheit+TID-701NBT.html i know its not very good but i have to deal with it because my mom bought it for me for my bday and i dont want to make her feel bad so i have to deal with it for a little while. it actually been pretty good and the sound quality is decent. i dont think its the hu though because when i mute the hu or even power it off the subs will still do it. so its gotta be something with my amp or electrical. do you guys agree? |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 3594 Registered: May-07 | i have had this problems twice. One time it was the RCA's the 2nd time it was the inputs (rca's) on the amp. Unhook the RCA's from the amp and see if the inputs are loose on the amp. if so, try tightening them up if possible. Run a good set of RCA's from HU or EQ(don't know your setup) to see if that fixes it. Just run em over the seat and if that fixes it. Then permantly run em where the old ones were( so long as they are not run next to the power wires going to the amp). |

Bronze Member Username: Ridicbass07060Sonances wangin Post Number: 93 Registered: Apr-09 | ok guys fixed... ground was loose where it goes into the amp all i did was tap the wire and it came right out. i dont know how that happened. i was going over a lot of bumps the other day. so i tightened that up really good so thats not going anywhere anymore. im still not going to count rca's out though because i didnt really turn the volume up loud yet since its night time and my neighbors are bishes. tomorrow im going to crank it and see if all is good. either way im buying new rca's anyway. these ones suck. thanks for all the help guys. |
