[QUOTE="Savan, post: 8600107, member: 673799"] Okay so here's my setup... 2011 Toyota Corolla. I started with everything stock and base. No pre-existing factory amplifiers or fancy stereo. Using Factory stereo to 6 channel Line Out Converter (AudioControl LC7i). Then from the LOC to 4 channel Amp (Rockford Fosgate R400-4D) and Mono channel Amp (Rockford Fosgate R500X1D). Then from the amps to the respective speakers. My issue is that when I have everything wired up properly, the speakers are getting a lot of static and random popping, like really loud random popping. Also, the music will be very very quiet and distorted at all volume levels. If I turn the volume up, it will randomly spike REALLY loud but will mainly stay at the same quiet volume level with more distortion and more popping and more static. I have tested the amps by disconnecting the LOC and plugging in an RCA - auxiliary cable straight from the amp to my phone and it works fine. I also tried to bypass the amps/LOC stack and directly connected the wires from the stereo straight to the speakers using temporary electrical tape and it all works fine. So I am confident that all of my wiring from the stereo and my wiring to each speaker is good, and that my amps are in good condition as well. It is evident, to me, that the LOC is the problem. What I want to know is if there is something I am missing with the LOC install, anything else that could be causing this issue, or if I need to install something else as well to make this work. There is the potential that the LOC is faulty, but before I request an exchange I would like to cover all other possibilities of error from my end. The instructions didn't specify needing anything else. [/QUOTE]
