Earthshakin Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Still cant figure this out. Strange things are occuring. I ran the ipod straight to the amp. Whine went away...so i traced the problem forward to the head unit. Dicover that somehow if i moved the ANTENNA wire the subs popped...i have no clue why. I am wondering if i did drop the rca cables and it hit the power cable. YES I SHOULD HAVE DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE ON THE BATTERY...on a funny yet sad note i also managed to crack the face of the coating on my p1 sub..

I n some headunits there is a micro fuse between the main ground and the rca ground, you might have blown it, happened to me on my Pioneer HU. the fix is this: http://audioforum.termpro.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=002066;p=0 give it a try my friend, it might solve your problem. always disconnect RCA's befor you disconnect amp/HU grounds!! good luck, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinser Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 He said that the highs amp is only hooked to batt and ground, no rcas or speakers, so its just ideling, should not draw much current at all. What size wire do you have for positive and ground runs? And what amps are you running? Let me know if the rca fix makes any diffrence. Should eliminate the wine aswell..
