Subs getting louder randomly


Recommended Posts

Okay. So I have been noticing that my subwoofers will start out quite and then all of a sudden while I am driving they will get a lot louder? Why is this? I use to think it was because my battery wasn't warmed up but that's not it because it takes like ten minutes and my car gets warm in like 2 minutes. Hope you can help.

a couple things come to mind

your alt kicks in and gives a couple volts more now and then

you have a loose power terminal

you have a bad RCA pair where one goes in and out

I'm sure there's more to look at, someone else will chime in I'm sure.

Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.

Any amplifier with an unregulated power supply (which is most amps) will give more to your speakers if they're getting more voltage. Watch your voltmeter (you have a voltmeter, right?) and see if there's a correlation with it and the random volume bump. If not, then take a look at the other things I said.
