I just got my system up and running a lil while ago, now I have a problem. I had a Maxxlink in, but the subs were barely moving, though quite loud. I had the input level set correctly, and wired up just as the manual diagrammed.

So I decided to take it out and see how it would be with just 2 sets of strapped amps (4 SAZ-3000d's). I only have one set of rcas going back from the hu, so I got some rca splitters so I could get rcas to the other master amp. Now, I'm getting a ringing out of the subs, sounds almost like a 1000hz tone or something. The pitch also increases as I get on the throttle. I also have quite a bit less output than when the Maxxlink was in. So I've been doing a lil reading, and read somewhere here on the forums that splitters half the signal, and limit the tuning capabilities of the hu. Not something that I'm stating as fact, just something that I read.

So I just pulled the hu (Alpine iDa-X100) to see how many sub outs I have, and there is only one set.

So my question is, how should I go about my rca wiring in this situation?

Btw, sorry for the long ass post lol.

You have your rcas running afar from the power cables right? And im pretty sure your grounds are good... I don't really know to be honest. <_<

Yep, opposite side of the car. Hopefully this doesn't take too long for me to figure out and fix.

Its whatever, im getting out of bass anyway. Today, since i have off work, is my "take pictures and put everything on craigslist" day.

Back on topic i hope someone chimes in and helps you out. Sorry i couldn't

What's gonna be for sale?

And me too lol...But it's no problem, if you don't know, then you don't know.

Got a lil more info.

I found out that the splitters probably aren't the problem since I unhooked them and plugged the rca from the hu into one pair of amps and it still does it. But it only does it with the engine running, not with just the ignition.

Yeah i never had problems with spliters. As for whats for sale, nothing really good compared to what you got. Just a DD and some wiring, everything else is a joke compared to stuff you got.

i resolve to be a nicer moderator.
