i had sirius for awhile and liked it just didnt feel like paying for it anymore and octane is the shit for rock -
sounds like maybe something going on in the amp if u already tried switching rcas and it still does it. Do u have ur rcas going in to one amp out of the same amp and into another soret of like daisy chaining them. Are ur rcas and power ran on diffrent sides of the vehicle.
-
yeah u will b fine doing 4 awg just let me know how it goes
-
you said wjen u unhook the sub amp it goes away in your door speakers. Thats what makes me think it might be a groundloop problem. Try putting both the grounds for all the amps to the same spot in the vehicle
-
does it sound like engine noise or just a constant squealing out of them. I would check the grounds first
-
i mean if i did that in a customers car i would not be alowed to roll it.If it was me in your situation i would run a acc power to the acc under the dash and a constant 12 volts straight to the batt. Since the factory amp is bad you cant do anything with it but use it as a paper weight. But if it works out for you then best of luck.
-
i personal have not done that. You said the headunit is not turning off with the car so that makes me think by conecting all the wires together u just eliminated the acc power. which pretty much just sends the power to the deck to turn on and off. So if it works out then i guess all is good. But it will always have a constant pull with it hooked up that way.
-
clipping is bad no matter for how long. So i would not try to clip things it is just going to cause things to go bad.
-
yeah it will not mess with any computer parts of the car. It just sounds like the deck gets it constant/memory from the factory amp. But there is deff something going on inside of that factoy amp. It should not pull 2.5 amps at rest. Just try that and let me know what happens. If that does not fix the problem i will call a tech line at work and see what they suggest doing.

yeah it sounds like it is the factory amp causing the problem. If i remember right you said you have a four chanel runing your door speakers if so u can leave the factory amp fuse out. It is not doing anything. It sounds like it has some kind of short in it somewhere. Let me know what happens when you leave tht fuse out for a period of time. Make sure the battery is charged after you take it out so you can get an accurate measurment if it happens again.

its not that hard to do a basic amp sub combo. But if you do not feel comfortable doing it take it to a shop and have them do it. In the mean time just do some research and figure out how things work and how to hook them up. If you have questions dont be afraid to ask someone that is why people join forums to talk about things and ask questions good luck.
