[QUOTE="AchillesClone, post: 7006544, member: 626219"] I installed a new system in my car (speakers, subs, wiring, head unit, amp) using a Boston Acoustics GTA-1005 5 chan amp. At first, every speaker output was soft and crackly. Finally the sub output just stopped. Did every troubleshooting thing I could think of. Not the RCA's, not the subs themselves, not the other speakers, not the HU. Fuses werent blown in the Amp, no protect mode. So I sent the amp back and got a new one. Same exact wiring, same setup, put the new amp in yesterday. Sounded great! Turned it all off, put my car back together, turned it all back on to tune the amp. Again, sounded great ... for a minute. Then it all sounded soft and crackly like the first amp, and then ALL the outputs died. No blown fuses (this time I checked the fuses with a meter and even tried the spares), amp never went into protect mode. I wasn't touching a single thing when this happened. I literally have no idea what could keep happening. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
