Update: My intermittent problem became permanent. Verified low signal from HU. Power grounds at amp. Rechecked sub voice coil continuity. Friend had a test amp. Everything works. So my 12 year old alpine pdx 1000 finally shit the bed. Guess those are the symptoms if anyone ever runs into...

So it wasn't fixed, it just didn't do it on that drive...of course. Anyway I've had the sub turned off via the head unit. So everything is still connected and I am still getting loud intermittent pops from the sub even though it is not playing any of the music. Is that looking like my amp is...

I'll give that a try. I noticed on the way home it didn't act up but I didn't have it cranked today. When it happens at lower volumes I had just been blasting it. Like go into a store for 5 mins, start car with volume down and it is doing it. Likely because coils are still hot I guess?

Hey everyone I've been in the game for a while now,, blown my share of speakers and subs, on my way to going deaf. My set up is: kenwood excelon (not sure the model is a single din) hu, 2 alpine pdx amps 1000x1 300x2, 12" kicker l7, focal p165 front components 6.5". Everything except the...
