treossi Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 might be clipping or low voltage or something... i have a saz2k and i have no popping sounds Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
sodfamily Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 When does this popping sound occur. On first start up? When shutting down? When the volume is move (up or down)? When tracks change on a song? How are the electrical (power and ground) set up. ^^^^^^x2 on the low voltage, what is happening there? I have installed a 3000 and had no isssue and then did a direct swap to a 3500 and it is perfect.

Enellz Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 Are your decks RCA grounds loose? Are the amps grounded to one location? Are the grounds sanded down to bare metal? Have your tried swapping RCA wires? Have you checked you voltage with a DMM at the Amp, battery (front/back), also the ohm load?

zfrerichs Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 Clip clip clip. You might want to check deck settings and try grounding rcas Quote Roseville, CA

dblovah51 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) i was thinkin low voltage was the part of the issue in my boy jeep with the two 3k, but in the other vehicle with the 3.5k the voltage doesnt drop below 12.6 and the poppin begin sumtimes even before the voltages reaches that low. this amp was from db-r so im thinkin that refurb wasnt a good repair. ill try some of you guys ideas and check the other things y'all listed also appreciate all the inputs Edited December 18, 2009 by dblovah51 Quote 2004 trailblazer 4 FI BTL 18s (2) DC 10.0k xs power d3100s mechman 270 158.2 @41

dblovah51 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Posted December 18, 2009 Need some more information about when it occurs. it occurs even before i can set the bass knob to half, gains not even close to half and it does it, voltage no lower than 12.6 at FULL tilt.

sundownz Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 So there is a popping while playing music ? Are the subs reaching mechanical limits ? Also... unhook the remote knob and see if it stops. Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected]
