have a brz 2400 and when I start my car my subs pop constantly and will not stop until I unhook the remote wire regardless if my head unit is at 0 or if I have my rca's hooked up or not... I tested my subs impedenc and they both read fine... The thing is if I drive around for a while and hook the remote back up it music plays fine. I'm leaning towards "this cheap ass amps on its last legs" but I'm not sure could someone chime in on this please

Have you tried this amp in another car? Also what type of headunit is it?

Low voltage/bad connection will cause the constant poping...

Your battery might be suspect or you have a small battery drain that would explain why it stops after driving around and charging up for a while

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Amps are not like cars like a car can run like shit on 3 cylinder but still run if an amp has an issue it will ether pop or just stop working it won't be on its last leg

I know what your problem is I have seen it 100 times but if you insist your voltage and connections are "fine" good luck with your system you obviously know more then me

I had one of those cheap amps and sometimes they do go slowly. In had one that had to warm up before putting out power and getting louder. First 5 minutes would sound like crap too. My eletrical was a mechaman alternator putting out 246 Amps at idle, a group 65 under the hood and 2 group 31 in the rear
