I never did find the source of the noise(s). I checked the integrity of grounds. I grounded just about any negatives I could find. One after the other, there was no difference at all regardless of what was grounded. So all I can assume is the iSuck BT receiver ... well *****. I pulled it and...

Will do. I'm down to troubleshoot to find the source of this much noise. It's quite a lot. If you'd be patient with me while I'm currently on mandatory overtime. there are a lot of testing points. Such as when you say "headunit" do you mean the tablet and or it's chagrining circuit, or the...

Greetings, So this is what I'm working with: http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/635804-budget-friendly-ford-escort-system-tablet-components-10-sub.html Currently, there are some ground loop issues goin' on. For a desc. of the noises. With the volume at 1...

I got a good deal on that Clarion amp new. But it is also several years old. It will have to go if I do front speaker upgrades. Plus, I could move the new amp into the trunk like how I wanted. Previously, the work required to do so wasn't worth the hassle because all the speaker hookups are...

Greetings, This is my 99' Ford Escort ZX2 Coupe. Going in, I just wanted a better sounding system than what the factory offered while on a student's budget. But as I got to thinking, why not add some new modern features? I'd like a system that plays rock, just as well as rap, and other genres...

I bought that Boss gear while I was a student. It was all I could afford to spend on novelty items at the time. I stated I bought an Alpine. I wanted the type-r if not just for durability, but I think the s series will do just fine for my needs. I don't blame the song. It's just what happened...

I suspect the same. Just it was working, and then all of sudden - dead. Interesting, I kept it in my house while not using it. In my opinion, I didn't beat it to death because I'm not really one to have the bass knob turned up most of the time. Regardless, I've purchased an Alpine SWS10D4 10"...

I was trying to test the waters! Mess with the knobs and see if they produced different results. Although, if it matters those were the settings of the Alpine amp shown in the videos.

That exact song, seriously? Coincidence or just bad luck for me? Not sure about your past comment. I've had numerous Boss items die on me now from subs to amps to headunits. But I knew and accepted that fact going in. By cheap to hold you over until you can get something better. Either way...

So I reinstalled the sub @ 4 ohms and everything appeared to be stable for once! The amp didn't cut off once on a small drive around the block. I bumped bass heavy Pastor Troy and Tech N9ne songs. But for whatever reason, Kendrick Lamar's DNA song blew the sub. I guess it was on it's way out. I...

Hi BOOM, I actually just finished wiring the sub from 2 to 4 ohms and it's wiring seems solid. Despite the cheap plastic spring connectors of the sub. The connections are stable enough. I wish I knew the gauges again ... but its been a long time. Probably, 8 or 6 gauge. My power and ground...

Will do. I would right now but it's night time and like 5 degrees out there. Side note, I am an undergraduate in IT and do electrical engineering as a hobby, so I know what your talking about. Teensy, Rpi, Arduino stuffs. But not so good with abbreviations apparently. I would really love to...

To clarify, the amp(s) are on with the green or blue light on. The subwoofer works - for so many seconds. Then the sub stops moving and producing sound. Yet, the amp(s) are still normally on with the green or blue light and the protection lights are not lit. What is a DMM? Digital multi-meter...

Greetings, I drive a 99' Ford Escort. I like to have a good punch to my music, but not too much. So I usually go with budget friendly options for hardware. My current internal audio setup is a small 4-channel Clarion amp (XC1410), front components, tweeters, and 6x9s in the rear. All that works...
