masterbusa2 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Idk where the issue is being cause but I will explain it to the best of my ability I have an like 8 year old Power acoustik radio dvd screen and yesterday I was emssing aroudn with my highs and I have two amp rcas strapped a 600watt sony powering my highs and a 900 watt candence for my sub, and randomly my radio started doing this really loud popping noise everytime I swapped source or turned on or off the car so I tried unplugging one amp and then my sub now does like crazy bass for no reason so I figured rca problem right? i replaced rca's still does it so i figured maybe a ground checked ground still grounded good, and tehre is a double ground to my radio so i checked all fuses also good,, i checked amp with a little rca box thing that test amps rcas by playing a tone plays fine,, idk what else it could be maybe amp is just dead and gone? also if i have both amps hooked up it doesnt do the crazy bass thing but when u turn it up it shuts off my highs amp and does this popping... I tried completely unhooking the highs amop but still to no avail idk what else to try any suggestions? btww with one rca hooked up sealed car i got 139.8 that was with the radio broke and i used the little rca tester thing xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel4055 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Sounds more like a RCA issue where you have to ground the rcas to the deck. Used to do that with my kenwood. When I switched tracks it would thump. Quote Rest In Peace mother.
