I am in need of some advice for my install. I had a pair of HAT components running in passive and a sub hooked up to a 4 channel amp. Everything sounded good, but I decided to upgrade my system by going active and adding a mono amp and a bigger sub.
Once I got everything wired to active, a lot of problems decided to show up. The speakers were making popping sounds at low frequencies and sounded muddy with the highs. I couldn't figure out what the problem was, so I tried wiring it back to active but the problem stayed.
More problems began to arise, my amps stay on even after I turn off the car. Removing the remote cables from the amps did leave them off, and there's no power cable touching the remote area.
Lastly, the worst problem that came about was a loud screeching noise that came from my right speakers out of nowhere even with the volume off and car off. I had to run out the car and disconnect the negative post from the battery.
I can't imagine messing up much just by taking the speaker cables off my crossovers and connecting them to the amp. Everything was fine prior to that.
