Also could it be the rca wires? Because I got a new set for the bass knob for the input and then using the old set for the output? Could it but my rca cables are bad?
Earlier you said the amp still made white noise without the RCAs, so I do not think they are the issue. Did you make a change right before the issues appeared?
Everything was working fine until I hooked up a rca bass knob. But I gotta look at my ground and Everything. How would I tell if the amp is bad
I have used RCA bass knobs for years without issues so I doubt it would be the culprit. Try using the amp without the bass knob.
Had the bass knob and it still did. So your right not the rca bass knob. Now when I checked my ground it was super loose and I was able to pull the cable out of the terminal. So ill replace that and see. Im also going to use new speaker wire.
That should be the issue. Poor connections can cause your amp to blow and also cause clipping. Clipping overheats sub coils.
Ok ill redo the ground and then check. Now if the amp was clipping wouldn't the clipping light come on? Because it never did but we got it down to 3 things speaker wire or the ground or the amp. Subs seem fine and spokey said I should still take them out and check the coils individually but ill hold off on that and test everything else
I do not know. But I just recalled that your amp is a full bridge and those tend to be supply voltage sensitive.
Ok sounds good once I fix the ground ill update. If the ground doesn't fix the issue ill take the subs out and check them.
Ok so I just re did the ground and still plays this sound. Theres no rca wires hooked to the amp its just the speaker wires from amp to subwoofers
Here's the sound sorry
Also Just looked did the dmm test and there both reading 3.6 ohms (they are 4 ohm subs) on both voice coils
Holy llama! That amp needs an exorcism. I can assuredly claim the amp is the issue. Good thing is the amp still works. A tech sbould be able to fix that issue if you have no warranty on it. Any repair shops around your area; if not, there are a couple in eBay.
That is a good reading. Impedance rises with cone movement.
