[QUOTE="StrygwyrBS, post: 8167456, member: 657926"] [B]SPECS[/B] [B]Car Details:[/B] -2003 Acura RSX Type S (w/ Bose Stereo) -Deck feeds to two amplifiers: Mono, Stereo and then to the speakers. [B]Bass Package:[/B] -Amp: Phoenix Gold Ti -Subwoofer: 2 Phoenix Gold 12' Ti (Wired 2 ohm) -Fixed Line Converter (Wired from the stock mono amplifier) Now that you know what I'm dealing with I'll explain that when the deck is turned on I get some distortion in the subs. It's a low pitched continuous sound and it stays on the entire time the stereo is on. It is present even when I am playing music from any source (cd, radio or ipod tape deck). I fixed my issue by purchasing a new pioneer deck which has a single set of RCA outputs for the aftermarket amplifier. I would like to know if anyone has some ideas as to why I would get this kind of distortion.
