    Bad amp maybe?

    Yeah the signal is split using a RCA distribution box. Signal from the deck is the same to both amps and only that one does it even with the RCAs unplugged. Going to put it on the bench at work tomorrow to double check but I'm swapping them out for some wolfram amps to see how they are.

    Bad amp maybe?

    i have 2 orion hcca15s and 2 orion XTR2500.1dz amps. One amp no matter which sub its hooked up to will cause the sub to play without any music on. It thumps every 3 or 4 seconds like it’s on beat with something but thats all I get. When I unhooked the speaker from the box, I kept getting sparks...

    Headlights dim and car idles at lower RPM after Sub install

    This is the number one suggestion I have heard over the years from all my local shops, and from bigger Youtubers including Exo. You are entitled to your opinion. I was just giving a suggestion. And yes, they do make bulbs for his vehicle. I'm sorry if somebodies illegal LEDs blinded you in the...

    Choosing my first Sub

    I'd personally go with the JBL over the pioneer if I had to make the choice. From experience, I like the sound of JBL speakers and subs over pioneer.

    2x Pioneer TS-A300D4 Opinions?

    We used to sell these at the local shop I worked at. They didn't sell very often at all even when they were on sale. I've never really cared for pioneer subs, and I personally think you can do better for the money you are spending. it is a $60 sub. Get them hooked up, see if you like the sound...

    Tap amplified high level signal

    I'm not too sure if it will make a difference if you're tapped into the same wire at a different location? Are you tapping both left and right for your signal? Or just one side? I had the same problem with my girlfriends car. I tapped both the left and right speakers for my signal, but it...

    Speaker pop when starting car from accessory key position.

    Is your remote turn on wire connected to the remote turn on from the deck? Or is it tapped to something else

    Fuses or circuit breakers and how many?

    300 amp fuses. You are going to need 4 total for the runs from the battery to the second battery. Fuses must be within 18" of the battery so you need one fuse on each end of each run between the 2 batteries

    Headlights dim and car idles at lower RPM after Sub install

    It is just a suggestion to temporarily stop headlight dimming. Wasn't not trying to indicate that this would fix his problem completely

    Planning electrical for upgrade

    At 2 ohms, you are looking at about 5000 watts RMS (Assuming that is what the amp actually pushes out) I just finished my 5k RMS build. I have a 285 hairpin alt from US Alternators, and 3 XS Power AGM D3100s in the trunk. Before I started the build I asked the same question and was told what I...

    Help with wiring new Pioneer TS-WX1010A Sub amp combo

    Looks like the harness suggests it doesn't need anything bigger to run the sub and amp. But, you should be fine to connect the two together. Normally it's more of a danger to do it if the wire you are adding onto is smaller. Make sure to fuse the power wire as well

    A quick question passive crossovers

    I would think it could be possible? Are you getting engine noise? When you rev the car up does the static/whine get louder? Any amps hooked up?

    No audio out of stock speakers when sub is on?

    Not sure if it helps but I found this https://www.caraudio.com/threads/line-out-converter-causing-all-speakers-to-not-work.555035 Try some of the solutions said here

    Amp shuts off when starting car

    ^^^ Also, I'd clean the ground the paint off wherever you are grounding too.

    Headlights dim and car idles at lower RPM after Sub install

    I don't think 120 watts is going to make your headlights dim. LED headlights shouldn't dim if you upgrade to those on 120, but since you are having problems. I'd first start by checking for a bad alternator and battery to begin with.
