Trâgîk Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ok guys so i need some input please. I have a slight hum on my speakers which i installed a couple days ago, and this morning when i turned the heat on, the speakers turned off or went quiet but the amp didnt turn off and as soon as i turned the heat off the came back on! Also when i hit the heated seats button, the speakers crackled. My volume was on 1 because it was early as hell and just started my car to warm up. Does it sound like a ground? Or maybe a speaker wire is knicked?? Im going to pull out my dash today and check my speaker wires in a little bit but i wanted to see if someone could help me out a little bit Quote -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant the ninja Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sounds like something got crossed, I'd check all your grounds then your speaker wires.

small2woofers482 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 check if the negative speaker wires are touching any bare metal or something and reattach all the speaker wires. maybe it'll solve your problem. another thing is to check your deck power and ground cables. the power cable should be directly from the battery and the earth should be clean contact with the metal. if possible thicken the earth wire. check the speaker wires for any cuts or damage. hope that this'll solve your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trâgîk Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ok so i noticed my ground for my mids an highs amp wasnt tightened all the way so i garrantee that was why that little thing happened with my speakers this morning but im now that im listening to the speakers, the only hissing noise is coming from the tweeters and not the mids. So what is that telling me and what should i look for?

Trâgîk Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I think there is something wrong with these crossovers cuz my mids arent even getting power..is there any way to test these? I have power going in but not coming out. And i know the speakers are good because i tested them but i tested them active without the passive crossover. I just never noticed that they werent even playing Quote -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXxOuTLaWxXx Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 If its just a slight noise it could just be because your head doesn't have an absolute zero mute and its just a little feedback that you can't get rid of no matter how well you ground it or out could just be the Powerbass amp Quote "i'd rather die like a man than live like a coward" quoted from Tupac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trâgîk Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Nevermind thats fuckin wierd. I wired the crossover without the tweeter and just the midbass and it wont work, but it will work with just the tweeter. And it will also work with both of them. I cant seem to figure out this Quote -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not real bad at all but im kinda picky and wanna get it right if possible. But when its turned up a little bit, like 4 or 5, it goes away or either i just cant hear it anymore Quote -----SELLING EVERYTHING---- 2 DC sound labs 3.5k's (still avail) 2 HDC312A D1's (still avail) 5 XS Power Batteries (1 d3400 and 1 d1200 left) 4 runs of knukoncepz 0 gauge (have all the wire still) DC power 270XP alt (sold) RF T1 6.5 components (both sold) Powerbass XAX 4160 (still avail) Custom built box 4.75^3 tuned 34hz (still avail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXxOuTLaWxXx Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 The whining would be from the amp then if it goes away when you barely turn the volume up Quote "i'd rather die like a man than live like a coward" quoted from Tupac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
