Well, my subs sounded great with the 680 watt Rockford. Plenty of power. I'm only replacing it because something is wrong with it, the RCA inputs are introducing noise and I don't feel like trying to repair it, nor am I sure how to. Figured I'd just get something new. The M65 seems like a...

I have 2 Rockford p2d2 12" subs. They are the 2010 model and rated at 250 rms 500 peak. Been pushing them with a Rockford 500bd with a birth sheet stating 680 watts. Well I'm looking for a new amp and I'm considering an alpine mrv-m500 or the pdr-m65. Only reason I'm asking is because I'm...

Just got back from a friends house, where I installed my amp in his car. Same problems occur. So, it's definitely the amp. And I'm definitely feeling like it's the RCA input block. The red and white plastic parts are loose on the input side, and wiggle around inside of the metal shielding. I...

More fiddling with it today and I'm sure it's something to do with the amp. RCAs unhooked from the amp, and when I was messing with the punch bass remote, I was getting a little bit of noise through the subs, you could feel them moving. I'm debating just getting something new. Even though I...

Well I went ahead and tried to solder the connections. Either I didn't do it very well, or that wasn't the problem because the noise is still there. I just wish I knew if it was the amp, or the wiring, but I don't have a second amp to install and find out. I feel like I've tried everything...

Here is the closest I could get. Left to right goes Input White, Pass Thru White, Input Red, Pass Thru Red. I feel like both Inputs look like there is a gap in the soldering.

I've tried using my old deck, same issue. I'm starting to think my issue lies within the amp, as mitchell0715 said up in reply #3 . I've taken apart the amp, and the soldering of the RCA input looks like it may no longer be solidly connected to the circuit board. It's hard to tell for sure...

Well I'm still completely baffled. I did some more testing today, and nothing seems to be working as far as grounding the amp. I'm wondering if it's not a ground loop, maybe? I'm not an expert by any means, but since I can hear the CD spinning through the subs, doesn't that mean the noise is...

Yeah, I'm assuming installing the speakers was coincidence, or I did something I don't realize to jack up the ground connection somewhere. I took the amp apart, but honestly I don't know what to look for. I can't see anything thats not connected right at the RCA input. Today I tried to ground...

Hey everyone I'm having a problem with my amp. Bought a 2010 Altima, and put my subs with a new Alpine deck in it. Everything was working fine for several months. Then I unhooked it, installed some 6x9s in the rear, I did move the amp wires around a bit, and when I hooked the amp back up I...

Thanks for the posts CplCuddles, and n2audio. I will take a look this weekend when I have time, and see if I can run the wire through the factory grommet in the firewall. If not, I will probably try out a 6 AWG wire, which I'm pretty sure will fit behind the fender.

Well that's simple enough, and the answer I expected. I've been using the amp for years, and have the 4 gauge wire already. The problem is just this one spot, though the front driver side fender. I just can't get the wire up through there. I only need the smallest amount more space! I have...

Hey everyone. Got a new car recently and I want to move my subs and amp into it. I have a Rockford Fosgate Power 500bd, had it for about 10 years or so now. The problem is that I'm having a real problem getting my 4 gauge power wire ran through the car. It's just too thick to fit where I...
