Just a quicky i have removed so many wires getting a bit bogged down, i have 2 audio cables from head unit do they go into out conn or in conn on the back of amp??

In i would say, you talking about RCA cables ye ?

**** nos just 2 largish cables from back of head unit ...whats rca cables

They carry Audio and Video signals

Well sorted all works:thumbup:

 

Thanks Dave

Why now is it that before music plays there is an almighty thump from rear speakers so bad you duck when it happens... its like some thing lands on the roof!!

 

Turn volume right down then increase it BOOM:surrender:

Did you connect your speakers to the amp? If not it was probably them popping?

Everything connected as it should be.....i hope!

 

Even when you change source to radio...boom back to cd....boom!!!!!:confused1:

Are the speaker cables wired in a particular way!! i have purple going to the red conn on amp and plain going to the black conn on amp is this correct??

Any body! really annoying me

have you tryed adjusting the gain on the amp?

Sorry mate complete novice when it comes to ice, i have altered no settings since i got the car, sounded pretty much ok.

 

All i have done is remove large bass speakers to sort out lights and put back together again, oh and leads from cd player to amp but following a thread i posted these are on the correct way!

 

Dave

take it everything was working fine before you disconnected it?

 

but there is usually a gain screw/knob on the amp, you might have this to high so its amplifying the signal change. or you might need to earth some thing

Everything perfect before .......should had left well alone:glare:

Sounds like an earthing issue.

 

The amountof electrical issues you have had already I'm going to assume you now own a multimeter :)

 

If this is the case. Check the earth resistance from the amp itself to make sure you have a good earth.

If this is ok, check the resistance between the earth wires on the speakers. i.e. earth terminal on the speaker and then earth terminal on the amp for that speaker.

 

Also check to make sure that the live and earth wires and not too close together when joining the amp. If they look close put some insulation tape around them and see if that reduces the boom when you power up.

Spot on Stu but how the fook do you work them no instructions:lol:

 

I know how to find a current [put on 20v]:w00t:
