Radio Interference?

[BumpinDoug 10+ year member]

Alright I jsut hooked up my two 15A's with a tsunami 1800t (loud as shlt), anyway, the only problem I have is my radio is kinda fuzy now. It used to get much better reception before the subs were hooked up. I didnt touch any of the wires goin to the head unit during install, and all the wires are properly installed. The radio reception for my car comes from those red wires on the back window of my car instead of from an antenna, could it be possible that the magnets from the subs, which are more or less directly below the radio reception window, could be interferring with the signal? Ive got an audi A4, thanks for the help

I doubt your magnets would have anything to do with the problem. It is more likely that you are getting noise from the switching power supply of the amp. Try rotating the amp 90 degrees and see if that helps.

Wait you mean rotating the phase on the amp 90 degrees or rotating the actual amp 90 degrees

haha you cant rotate phase 90 degrees...I HOPE...!

PPI used to make a phase alignment processor that would allow you to adjust phase 0-180 degrees and everywhere in between. Analog delay processor basically.

the actual amp.

But that is what I was talking about.

but a delay processor wouldnt actually be adjusting the phase unless the whole audio track was one note....

I don't remember the model number anymore, but it was sold as a phase shift processor. I'm not sure how it worked. Probably was based on a single frequency but, I'm not sure.
