audiofanaticz Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well then... Unless theres not enough power on the remote to turn the amp on which is doubtful. The only other thing it could be is the headunit preout is bad. You could check all battery connections to make sure they are tight and theres no coriossion. You could also jump the remote wire directly to the constant power on the amp (if amp plays fine your problem is the remote, if it acts the same then the remote wire is not the problem). If its a pioneer headunit, or even another brand, try grounding out the rca cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moh.vze.com Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I remember on my old system my subs would "poof out". It turns out the problem was the amp had a bassboost switch and somehow mine got set to the "middle" so it was acting weird.

jsmoke222000 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) I would be leaning toward bad RCA's. Try hooking up a LOC (line output converter) to see if the same thing happens. A LOC would eliminate bad preouts or confirm bad RCA's My bad. I just read where you switched RCA's. Still I would try a LOC to rule out bad preouts Edited April 17, 2009 by jsmoke222000 Quote Jared Nixon A.K.A.

brewer_brewer Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 bad rca signal. ground them real good because you have a pioneer. pioneers are notorious for this.

treossi Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 yeah i'd try grounding the rcas, happened to me on my pioneer, they wouldn't go to full excursion though, but they moved a lot. very slowly.. also wondering if you've thrown another amp on that signal, and did it do the same thing, i know you said you put that amp in another car, but did you put another amp on that setup.

MunkeyQ Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 As the others have said, switch out bits to find the faulty part. I'm betting on a bad amp. The older class D designs had a very simple output filter to get rid of the harmonics kicked out by the switching process. If the capacitance of the caps in the filter changes significantly (heat, age etc.), it's common for a resonance to build up in the filter, causing the problem you describe.
