troycartertc Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I hooked up my old system today in a car. Had the same system hooked up about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine. but anyway the woofers play no music at all just a pulsing tone. they stop when you disconnect power or remove rca's from the amp. what is the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_frog Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) I hooked up my old system today in a car. Had the same system hooked up about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine. but anyway the woofers play no music at all just a pulsing tone. they stop when you disconnect power or remove rca's from the amp. what is the problem Ah, I just recently sent my amp out for a similar problem. Does it just pulse once when it powers on or does it continue to pulse? EDIT: Watch your protect fault light and watch the subs while they make the sound and see if they move slowly. Be a little more descriptive about when it's happening. Edited January 28, 2009 by Neo_frog Quote Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

mrafrica Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 i had this happen. it was my preouts on my headunit. Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.

Neo_frog Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Yeah. That's why I asked if it was just once or repeated. Make sure your RCAs are seated properly in the back of the HU or try some new ones. I'm almost willing to guarantee that's the problem. If you have a line driver or bass booster, try turning it down because those cause funny things to happen if your gains aren't set right. EDIT: Seen this exact problem before. That's why I told you to watch the subs. Edited January 28, 2009 by Neo_frog Quote Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 sounds like an amp problem. try hooking up a cheap sony amp or something and see if it still does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troycartertc Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 so what would be the best way to go about fixing this problem. try diff rca's and change the gain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
