BeachJoshua Posted September 18, 2010 Report Posted September 18, 2010 So your amp is sending a signal even when nothings going into it, is that what you are saying? | S-10 | 4.5^3 ft | 33Hz | SAE-1000D @ 1 Ohm | 2 SA-12s | SPL: 143.7 Sealed | 153.4 Port Wars
fox_racin4 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Posted September 18, 2010 yes no RCA plugged in just power i tried re grounding as well i was told it could possible be some sort of filter? 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole
Boon Posted September 18, 2010 Report Posted September 18, 2010 Could be a dodgy output filter... or dodgy input op-amp... or drive circuit on the way out. Are you sure it's the subs, not the amp itself humming? 10.x volts fo' life!
fox_racin4 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Posted September 18, 2010 positive its from the subs its not loud but if i stick my head in the back seat i can hear it the thing that confused me is it does it even without any RCAs plugged into it 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole
P4killer_ Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 i had a SAZ1500D do this on me, exactly what you're describing soon after, she was kaput,,, look out edit: as soon as the remote clicked the amp on, it was like very quiet untill it was a constant noise a few sec after almost like a dog whistle Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s
Bigg Boy Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 I had an amp start doing that, couple min after I noticed it, amp went and sent straight dc power to my woofers.

Boon Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 That dog whistle sound is either a loose output transformer or the sound of high pressure smoke pissing out the side of your MOSFETs. Either way, not ideal. I dunno if this is what OPs problem is. Whistling amps don't last long. 10.x volts fo' life!
