I have 2 12in speakers in a bandpass box... not good speakers not good amp.. but enough.. but when i turn my music on they start to make a quite bumping sound very fast like a heart beat... but its not to the music.. did i go wrong in hooking something up? i can turn the music down and they keep doing it.. any ideas why?...... also i hooked this up bymyself ran into a lot of problems on the way i used to have it in a differnt car.. changed it out and having this problem now... so im not a 100% sure on everything i was doing but i have hooked up 3 differnt systems and only had trouble 1 other time :P lol but please help.....
using 1400 watt boss amp with sony xploids... i know there not the best but they were a present... sooo many wires to go over do you happend to know of witch wires i should be looking at.. ive rehooked my headunit 3 times now and the only thing im really not sure about is the RCA's.... and my ground isnt great but it wasnt working at all yesterday and fixed it so at least the amp is turning on today lol.... been working on this for bout a month or so.. and i dont have the money to take it to a profesion or i would
ok, for your RCA's all you have to do is make sure they are going in the SUB rca's or REAR. yoru ground could be the problem. make sure that your ground is secure and that will help. you don't need a pro to do this, just need a step by step person to show you
yea when i unplug or wiggle the RCA"s at the amp it sometimes triggers it.. and also makes it blink green/red real fast.. might just have to invest in better rca's.. i got the kit from walmart with the scorche rca's or whatever...
i didnt wire the voice coils.. they were a gift. and in a bandpass box so will be a pain to get to.. but if that could be the prob ill def check it out.. also rca cables are on other side of car away from all wires.. but there very cheap brand... found some for like 10$ i might have to get lol and gonna fix my ground agian later today....will post tonight and hopefully it will be working.. Thanks
i rewired everything... not many places i can put the ground but it should be fine where it is... i guess it is my amp... but no idea why its messed up now worked fine in car i had it in before.. oh well Thanks a ton for everyones help...
again, if you haven't changed your ground yet, do that now. Scrape ALL paint off wherever you are going to ground it to, and make sure it's just bare metal wire. What I like to do is drill a hole right through and but a nut and bolt through the ground. Obviously, you will need a place where you can get your hands in behind. Tighten the bolt down, may even want to put a lock washer on it. That's what I do and never have problems with ground. If that doesn't work, see if you can hook up the subs on someone else's amp.
No. use a ring terminal and bolt the ring terminal to your chassis. scrape the paint of the place you plan to bolt it. use a bolt with a lockwasher and nut on one side. a #10 bolt will suffice.
is the ampmounted to the car? if it is maybe the amp chassis got grounded out. remove the screws used to mount the amp and lift the amp up so its not touching the car and turn it on.
also i have a 10 disk cd changer in my trunk its hooked up but i undid the ground... could that be the problem?? should i rehook the ground wire on that too?
i got it fixed yesterday.. it was eitehr the ground from the 10disk cd changer or the fact my battery wire was being pinched.. but its fixed and thanks a ton for the help
