RCA problem???

[JEXTEL 10+ year member]

Well the other day i notice my RCA's were loose on one of my amps (HK401sx) and it look like the actually pronge thing was coming off the wire..

So i replaced the RCA with an cheap Sosche for walmart..everything seemed fine but i had some engine noise so i disconnected it and changed the position and reconnected seemed alittle better but i notice there were little to no bass..after alot of connecting and disconnecting i notice the only way to get the bass back was to max the amps gains, bass boost and "SUB" level on the deck and even then the bass isnt as loud as it was before..

I dont know what happened it seems like im getting a very weak signal from the HU or something..I need to get this fixed asap becasue i have an comp on sun..

Think a liner driver will solve this problem? it only seems like its getting and weak signal...

All the hooking and unhooking on the rca's can break their connections inside...

Try a better pair of rca's.. If your power wire is near your rca's fix that, leads to engine whine

mine is a Jensen..and also i notice i hear a popping nosie(like the subs are playing there own song) when its really turned up..but i forgot i have to re set the gains..

I got my RCas and Clarion 7v pre amp 7 band EQ in too..hopful she will be ready for the comp on sunday

the loose connection on the wire may have damaged the amp rca inputs
