Popping When Headunit Turns On

[SamC]

mine used to do it but, it never bothered me.

I've seen situations where the sub amp's ground was poor and it was picking up engine noise while starting up the truck. This might not be for your situation, but just a thought.

Does your amp not have a delay turn on? Or does the deck for that matter?

You might have a just a plain normal turn on pop because of the timing of the Alpine H/U.

There is a little thing you can put on the remote turn on to slow down how fast it takes to turn on the amps.

But I forgot how to do it.

The new head unit might be powering up the signal before powering up the amps witch will cause that.

Edit: I have something backwards in that last sentence I think. signal first amps next?

every time this has happened around the shop, its been due to the remote wire...... on some radios, there is a small delay, others, it just turns right on..... this sudden change in voltage just causes the subs to pop a little......
