    I’ve got a 1500 watt amp and 2 kicker 12” subs that play a loud hum when I turn the car off. This note plays during the time between the engine shutting off and the amp getting cut off. ALSO: I noticed that if I unplug thr RCA from the amp, this does not happen. What might be the issue?

    Hey all, I just hooked up a new small JBL 4way channel amp in my trunk to normal aftermarket coaxial front and a set of rear speakers.

Can i, using the HU as an amp, use the HU designated rear...

    RCA Distortion From Head Unit

    So I have a somewhat crappy aftermarket head unit (Boss 460BRGB) so that if my car is broken into and it is stolen it wont be too bad a hit. Anyways I recently installed a Hifonics Zeus ZXX-1000.4 amp for my 4 kenwood 6x9 speakers. The two door 6x9s are rated at 115w rms at 4 ohm and the rear...

    OEM Headunit to Aux

    Warning this question will probably sound extremely dumb. So in short, if I have an OEM headunit and i use a line level converter to output to rca and then used a rca to aux 3.5mm adapter. Could I use that output for an aux input on another headunit? Thanks.

    Will Y-Splitters reduce sound quality?

    Hi, I have only 1 RCA pre-out in my Pioneer HU and I need to connect it to a 4-ch amp. I have used Y-splitters because according to my logic it did not pose much risk to losing the quality of signal as compared to a Line Output Converter (LOC) or using High level inputs. The Y-Splitters are...

    Shielded RCA's

    Hello everyone! My stereo was picking up heavy amounts of engine noise/whine, I moved the ground location for my headunit (from harness to chassis) and my amplifier ground as well. Neither helped. Then a thought struck me; maybe my $1 RCA's might be picking up this noise! I held my headunit away...

    No sound, DVD player to blame?

    Hi all. Tokai LAR-5301 DVD player + old Panasonic M654 amplifier. No sound. Thought initially that the amp is to blame (bought it 2nd hand from a flee market at ~20$), but then measured that the rca line-out gave nothing out, zero voltages, while a song was playing. Shouldn't there be at least...
