zack74562 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 i got my sounds installed yesterday and something's wrong. can someone tell me why my t8004 rockford amp is making a humming sound? the humming sound is soft from the back of the trunk but when you go inside the front you can hear it loud and clear on a low volume. when i turn the volume up i can rarely hear it but still it gets irritating. what would be the problem? the guy who installed it told me it was the amp and to contact the person i bought it from and to let em' know aboout the situation. i' will do that soon but could anyone tell me? i'm running ust one component set at total max power of 400watts on this amp for now i have another set but it will go in soon.

Boon Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Ground loop perhaps? Try unplugging the RCAs and see if it still does it. Turn off the system before you go plugging/unplugging. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack74562 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I just noticed something about the sound. when i turn the key on to acc the first click it doesn't make that funny sound but when i start the car it comes on. i haven't checked out the rca cables yet but i'll try that later today. i forgot something else i have a bluetooth but it was disconnected not completely though. the lights on the parrot bluetooth is still on. maybe that's another reason?

Jakeanator12 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 pinched wires in a bluetooth unit will cause that kind of sound..i guy tried to install his bluetooth unit himself and came to my work to get it fixed all it was was a pinched wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack74562 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 i have a JVC CD/DVD Touch deck. the guy who installed my system said there was something wrong with the amp that was causing that noise but like when i have the key on the first click it's not making that funny noise. so, the amp is good right? he said i should upgrade my deck because of something with like a 2channel that they had to split the wires out? i have 3 250A Fuses. what i got so far 1-13w7 sub 1-1000 1v2 amp 1-focal k3p 1-t8004 amp i'm going to put another set later. i will take the blue tooth out but i have to see. i haven't taken a car apart before i don't wanna break any clips that can't go back together. do i take the whole dash out or do i take out ust the deck? circuit city installed it for me like 6-7 months ago.

Gregggg Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Maybe your RCAs (idk what RCA you have), or maybe engine noise.

zack74562 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Maybe your RCAs (idk what RCA you have), or maybe engine noise. i got monster brand cables. it's being split off to one connection at the back of the cd deck. i notice when i move the splitter towards the back of the deck it starts making that lound static humming sound and when i move it away it get's softer. couple of days ago while listening to my sounds and driving at the same time my components went off on me. the subs were still going. i'm not sure i didn't really stoped and looked but i went to smell if anything was burnt and i didn't smell burnt. my car completely died out. so right now i'm charging the batteries. could it be the batteries being so low powered that it suddendly went off? it's wierd cause wouldn't the sub also shut off. unless a fuse burnt out. i try to see after the batteries are charge but does any one know any possiblities that may have shut off the components? i was told from the guy that installed my sound system that something was wrong with my rockfordt800-4 to try to send it back and get it fixed. it doessn't seem like it's the amp because i can't hear that funny sound coming out of the amp. i ust here it in the component speakers. i have two focal component sets (k3p) but only one set it is running. the max power is 400 watts is this amp too powerful? it doesn't seem like it sounds good as i accpected it to be as everyone says it is.
