    Crackling and weird noises coming from speakers, help!

    The amp is infact used. Yes when I turn the car on it whines and when I push on the gas the whining gets higher pitched and when I activate the brake light there's a loud pop.

    Crackling and weird noises coming from speakers, help!

    The ground wires for both the amps, I believe, are big enough. Its a kenwood hu. The only thing is, before I had a 2 channel amp hooked up to the mids and there was no issues of this kind. Today I replaced that amp with a 4 channel and added some 5 1/4's. Think it could be something wrong the amp?

    Crackling and weird noises coming from speakers, help!

    I have sourced the problem to the rca cables going to the 4 channel amp. When I remove the cables all interferance stops. Do you think it could be the ground on this amp? The sub amp and mid/ high amp are on the same ground point, think that may have something to do with it?

    Crackling and weird noises coming from speakers, help!

    I have a 2 channel for subs and a 4 channel for mids and highs. I'm assuming its something to do with the 4 channel amp because it didn't do until I swapped the 2 channel amp I had for my mids for the 4 channel and hooked up a pair of 5 1/4's. Both amps are grounded in the bottom of the trunk in...

    Crackling and weird noises coming from speakers, help!

    Just hooked up a 4 channel amp and now when I hit pause on my head unit a weird noise comes from all the speakers. I noticed that the sound follows the light pattern on the head unit (when it's paused it kinda strobes) Not sure what this could be, thinking its some sort of ground problem, not...

    Head unit shuts off

    I have two amps though? if one amp was bad wouldn't it just cut the sound to those speakers, not shut the whole system down?

    Head unit shuts off

    The amp is 2 channels, I just spliced the 5 1/4's into the correct terminals on the amp. So it's only 2 channels, but it's running 4 speakers. It didn't shut off until after I hooked up the 5 1/4's, so I thought it was shutting off because of the extra load. I unhooked the 5 1/4's and the system...

    Head unit shuts off

    Yesterday I tried to install a pair of 5 1/4" speakers for my highs. My system consists of: 800w Sony explod, 2 12" kicker cvrs in a custom box and a 300w amp hooked up to a pair of 6x9"s. I ran speaker wire for the 5 1/4"s back to my trunk and I spliced it into the speaker outputs of the 300w...
