[QUOTE="Squilly3, post: 8316095, member: 663122"] I have a pretty high end car audio system I got installed by Geek Squad a few months ago (my first mistake) but it's been having an issue ever since I got it all installed. First, my equipment: Pioneer AVIC-8000NEX JL Audio 10w3v3-2 subwoofer Front: Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 component speakers Rear: Infinity Kappa 693.11i coaxials 4 gauge amp kit for the speakers, 8 gauge for the sub, both made by Stinger Amps: 500w Alpine MRX-M55 (for sub) 550w Alpine PDR-F50 (for speakers) So both have more than enough power. Now for the issue: in the rear, there's a 'pop' then a "click" immediately after that. It typically happens when I'm driving, not while stopped (rarely it does occur while stopped). Other times, the speakers completely cut out, subwoofer still plays but all four speakers stop for a couple seconds then turn back on. Has happened many times, but amp has only gone into protect mode once. Leads me to believe the head unit preouts are bad. Did troubleshooting, got an auxiliary to RCA cable yesterday, took out the current RCA cables that connect directly to the head unit and played directly through my phone. I got the "pop" and "click" when NOTHING was playing through my phone or on the radio which is very strange. So is it an amplifier issue? So many issues I'm facing and I don't know where it's coming from. Thanks in advance guys. [/QUOTE]
