Ok...so I just install the Alpine X001, post a review, love everything! Well, last night I'm messing with the gain on the front stage amp, just turning it up a TITCH to get a little more volume at a little lower "volume" setting on the Alpine.
Probably because of lower voltage, I have to turn it up almost the WHOLE way to get the same power/volume out of the system...vs my old 9 volt Rockford. So I just crack the gain a tiny bit, from 1/4 to about 1/3.
I get in the car, start it to put it in the garage, and "tic tic tic tic tic....." from the injectors is my guess. I'm getting an audible TIC now! I tried turning it back down, and still hear the 'tick'.
any ideas would help before I gut the entire thing in frustration. Worst part?? I HATE when this happens, because now i"m at work and will be mulling this over in my head all day...then, I'll get home and won't be able to sleep unless I fix it!
Thanks guys for any input.
