Kicker l7 problem

[squidder 10+ year member]

hey everybody,please help me out(i am extremely new to this). I bought 2 kicker 12" l7's. one of the subs is constantly hitting even when no bass is being played,but when bass comes on it works perfectly. is it a problem with the sub or is it a wiring problem?

how bout somthing useful?

when you say the one l7 is constantly hitting, what noise is it making? when its doing this is the car on or off? it could be something as simple as a REALLY bad ground.

it does it when the car is on. i will make a video of it because its sort of hard to explain.

and yes i know the amps arent powerful enough but i got everything for $350 so i wasnt complaining

your power and grounds are paper thin....jesus christ man and how can you even get much of a bass response in the truck with it sealed off in the bed of the truck?

i took out the back piece right behind the seats. and it hits pretty hard. can you explain how to fix my problem and also will it hit harder after fixing the ground and power?thanks again

Wow you have like 10 gauge power wire...I know im exaggerating but ****.Also Youre better off putting them things in the cab somewhere,id bet that sounds horrible.

 

[squidder 10+ year member]

no it doesnt sound like ****. if i lower the gauge will it hit harder?

 

[eutechnyx 10+ year member]

You need to get 0 gauge everything and possibly a second battery,Im willing to bet u are getting a hum from alternator or power and rca wires running along eachother,or you are running a pioneer deck.

No it doesn't make a humming noisse and I'm not using a pioneer deck. Everthing is stock. What advantagex would I have by using 0 gauge wire

more current would flow threw the why

Ok would that make it hit harder? Will anything make it hard harder until I buy another amp
