Do you have a spair deck you can use outta the car to see if its the deck or not?

I'll have to try later, gotta go on a date lol

I've seen the same thing at least 5 times including on my own system once, every single time has been a bad ground

just try the ipod hooked straight up to the amp. if the subs are still moving without the beat then its not the head unit.

1st off, its only occuring in the woofers, or does it occur in the comp amp as well?

if it happens to the comps and the woofers, you know its not the amp/amps...

sounds like ethier a grounding problem, or some transistors are bad...

willing to bet its a groudning problem... i wrote an artical on proper grounding techiniques and how to minimize the chances of induced noise VIA grounding...

without getting technical bad connections often get worse over time, and there is a point to where the resistance affects the output...when the current flow is great enough it finds the path of least resistance(bad connection= high resistance).. chances are its feeding back into the output (hence passing threw the woofers) swiching supply BACK threw the transformers to ethier the amps ground, or RCAs.. or vice verser .. easy way to tell if its the h/u, is unplug the ground wire(disconnect the rcas and REM from your amps before hand) and see if the deck still powers up threw the antenna(make sure the antenna is connected).. if the deck says on/or tries to its a bad ground via the h/u...

when i install a after market system i always reground/bypass factory wiring because its usually poor..

Im willing to bet you simply have a bad ground on your h/u though or may be a crossover(active stand alone units do this sometimes as well

I am not sure if anyone else has ever experienced but my brother had a perfect grounding location but for some reason it caused problems. When he moved the ground everything was fine and there was no real reason why that ground shouldn't have worked. If nothing else works I would say just give it a shot b/c it can't hurt anything and at this point I dont know how many more options you have

grounding is a misconceving term.. its really called bonding.. futhermore in electrical its call a "common".. in a DC system... its simply because every electrical component uses the same material/matter for current flow to happen, INCLUDING the power supply/s AKA alt and battery... if the resistance of you grounds are not ideal you going to get voltage loss and/or feed back.. i put 2 of my 1750s in my truck, and grounded it to the frame not knowing the chassie and frame where not properly BONDED.. upon futher inspection i regrounded and gained 1DB and like 1.5 volt higher.... thats when needless to say i regrounded **** near everything in my truck.. althought the ground wasn't causing feedback it was causing unnessicary voltage drop hurting my score..

again the best grounding technique is finding a thick high in surface area highly conductive place to ground all of your high current devices/components.. don't stack ground on top one another, place the induvidually where the lug has full contact with the metal. make sure the battery is grounded there as well and make sure that its bonded to the factory's grounding points...

a good place on some cars are the seat belt surcuring locations, there bonded to both the chasse and the frame.. if you have say a 1000D and a 400x2 it really wont hurt to use the same location, but when you step up in power it becomes crutical...

It is probably the ground..........sorry, common, lol!

Happened to my Cutty where the ground came lose and ended up redoing it the right way and was fine. The first time my friend did it............never again!

Check the grounds.........even if it is to the frame.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Plugged in my iPod directly to the sub amp with a 1/8 to RCA wire, and it sounded great. So it's either my headunit or my RCA,//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif glad I just figured out what it was!

Headunits are a pain I always have to tinker with mine to keep the signal from screwing up.

I vote it's the HU since both sets of RCAs did the samething.

 

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

Whats the results????

 

[loudazz09 10+ year member]

its the headunit mine did the same in my car
