@mylows10 - wow thanks so much for even offering. I wish I could drive down to take you up on your offer but that drive isn't realistic for me. Maybe if I needed a new kidney and you had one laying around haha. @dubs7sonoma / jeffdachef - **** you guys and your sense and logic...

Sorry, I forgot to be more clear. I've had this amp in my car for about 2-3 years now. The shop that originally hooked it up is no longer around otherwise I would have brought it to them. I started having this issue a few months ago so I brought it down to this new shop to troubleshoot for...

sweet! thanks for the suggestions!

um....yeah....I wish I had an answer for you. I paid to have everything done for me and the shop that I brought my car to is pretty reputable so I just trusted that they knew what they were talking about. Do you think I should have a 2nd shop check it out before I replace the amp? I was kind...

Every few minutes my subwoofer makes a loud thump. It's loud enough to shake the car. It happens regardless of what source the headunit is on and regardless if the headunit is on or off. I brought it to a shop and they said the wiring, subwoofer, and head unit checked out OK. They believed...

Size doesn't really matter to me. I'm really a noob and I tend to gravitate towards brand names that I'm familiar with. If you know of another brand or amp model that's within my budget, please feel free to recommend some.   ---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at...

Hey guys, I'm pretty much noob status when looking at spec sheets for audio stuff. I currently have a 2005 Acura RL with a stock head unit running an Alpine PDX 1.600 and a JL 12" W6v3. My amp is starting to have issues so I want to replace it with another amp. Unfortunately, my budget is...

well crap, I thought they installed a LOC in my car but I followed the RCA's and they tap into my stock amp. Smacked the AMP around but it doesn't cause that thump. I tried following the remote cable from the amp but it disappears under the rear seat. Need to try to figure out where the heck...

Thanks so much for the recommendation guys! I'm going to look at all these this weekend to hopefully find the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew. I'll see if I can figure out how to pull the backing off my trunk out this weekend to check. They wired it pretty cleanly so all the wires disappear behind the walls. You hunch is what I was thinking too but I just wasn't sure what wire. The ground wire...

Oops sorry, I have a line out converter, i think that's what it's called, connecting the RCAs to the back of my head unit. I had it installed at a shop so they basically sold me what I needed. I'm thinking it is it is a wiring issue too, possible a loose cable but I checked all the connections...

My Setup: 2005 Acura RL factory Bose head unit JL Audio 12W6V2 in basic enclosure Alpine PDX-1.600 amp I've had this setup for the past 4 years and just this past week I've been running into an issue I haven't come across before in any of my previous systems. The problem seems very random...
