SadistiK Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Hey Guys, i've recently bought a kicker ZX350.4 four channel amp, nothing special but it keeps me happy for the moment. Anyways everytime i change songs or turn the volume off i get a pop through my speakers, i cant work out what to do to stop this and i've been mucking around with it for a while but still no good, any thoughts or suggestions?

Boon Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Usually a bad ground somewhere... 10.x volts fo' life!
Beanz Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 or maybe really high gain like everything on the maxx .my friends system did that and he always had the gain high That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
SadistiK Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Posted September 12, 2009 Yea, I ran a new 8 AWG ground from the HU to the body and it eliminated the pop completely. My Set-up ATM.

I also ring terminal'ed up some wire and grounded the rcas to the back of the HU aswell cause i was having issues there too, and that helped a bit. Damn you interference! My Set-up ATM.
