I thought about that but I unplugged the RCAs and the amp still popped. However like I said its makin my mids and highs pop too so it is obvisouly sending the popping sound out the sub speaker wire and the RCA outputs.

I'm definately not going to get rid of it. If worst comes to worse I will just send it in to kicker.

If I do end up having to send it into kicker do you think they would work with me on the warranty since my 90 days was up last monday?

Flip the order in which you transmit the signal for now. You said that you used the sub amp's RCA outs. Use the component/4-channel's output into the sub amp. That should take away the popping from the door speakers.

I just took the remote wire out of the kx2500 so they subs wouldn't be poppin. Then the RCA output still works with the kx2500 turned off.

how can an amp pop...is it a sound or does the light flicker??

No. none of the lights flicker or dim. the power light stays on. There is just a clicking sound inside the amp. Its not really all that loud. You have to put your ear down by the amp to hear it. But it makes the clicking sound the same time the subs and speakers are popping.

Should I go ahead and call kicker to get a RA# to send it in?

Really sucks since my warranty expired last week.....and im really low on funds.

You are always sayin that my amp is blown and offerin me money for it.

because it obviously is

Just wanted to let you know that the amp is NOT blown. I took it apart yesterday to see if I could see anything wrong with it. Come to find out there was a single TINY piece of wire (speaker wire i believe) that was was touching two different transistors. I guess the wire fell in the vent on the top of the amp where the fan is. So of course I just removed the small piece of wire and it works fine now.

So I'm gonna have to say no on your $50 shipped offer.

Because it obviously isn't blown. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
