New install. Power, Ground, Remote On, RCA's connected. Ready to set gains with multi-meter. Turned on radio, amp powered on; however, the amp is making a hum/muted clicking sound. The sound increases or decreases as the volume on the radio is turned up or down. Is this expected on this...

Unfortunately, I believe that to bet the case. The unit had good reviews and scored well on the RMS rating tests I watched on YouTube. I’ll move on to Pioneer or Kenwood as a replacement.

Thanks. Checked ground and it’s tight. My guess is something inside the unit wiggled loose and fell across something conducting electricity. The unit was powered probably less than 15 minutes in total (set up and then with speakers attached). Radio dial goes up to 35 and it was never turned...

I would have expected the fuses to pop before the amp melted down. I’m leaning towards something in the amp being bad during manufacturing.

That’s what I’m leaning towards also. I’ll start the process to get a warranty claim tomorrow. For the short time I had it hooked up, it sounded great.

Power wire to the amp is about three feet long and it’s clean. With this being in a Corvette, all the wire runs are short.

Amp wasn’t hooked up backwards. Everything was working, tested and configured, disconnected the battery to route wires under trim. The only wire removed from the amp was the positive wire and it was connected back up before connecting the negative cable on the battery.

Everything was in the car but the wires (RCA, speedwire, power, and ground) were not put away clean (i.e. under carpet or behind the trim). Once I confirmed the HU, and amp powered on, I tested for clipping with O-scope and set gains with multi-meter. I then connected speakers and sub and...

Brand new install in a 78 Corvette. Kenwood Excelon KMM-X704, Kicker 47KSC4604 in the front, Pioneer TS-A1680F 6.5" in back, Alpine SWT-12S4 sub, and Soundstream T5.2500DL amp. Ground is attached to passenger seat (tested good with multimeter). System worked well after initial setup...
