The crackle briefly moved to both speakers, then to the right speaker with the left being totally fine. Now there is no crackle in the right speaker...however the power output substantially less than the other side. The power output does increase with an increase in the head unit volume control and also the increase in the amp's gain control....but it is still faint compared to the other speaker. I have swapped around the RCAs as well as the seaker outputs to confirm the problem lies in the amp. Originally I thought the amp's RCAs connections were dodgy because when I pushed the RCAs in there was a changed to the crackle...but opening the amp revealled nothing loose at all with the solder joints - I even resoldered them to no effect. Any other comments would be greatly appreciated. |

This was the second RF amp to give me similar issues though. The first I sent back. The latter one I sold to someone brave enough to tackle the issue. |
