Pre-Outs & RCA's

Cliff why dont you tell them that you hooked up the RCA's to the line out instead of the line in on the amp that night that every thing went wrong.

i did do that, but it didnt think that would hurt anything, cause the amp wasnt recieving a signal, (no rca's in the low input), so there for the line out wouldnt have a signal either, there was only one set of rca's hooked to the amp.

and you have known me for how many years, and you still cant spell my name.

one more question, Maylar made the comment that it sounds like im overdriving the amp. Are you saying that the symptoms i described (poping bass sound from the subs, when HU is powered on/off, and CD being ejected and inserted) or that a Pre-Out going bad is a sign of the amp being overdriven?

No, I misunderstood your first post. Popping noises from a sub can be from hitting them with too much power or a clipped signal. Popping from turn on / turn off is something else.

Yeah i was pretty sure it was either a ground or bad preouts, but now im sure its bad pre-outs on the HU, so my new HU is on the way. Thanks for all the help.
