I just hooked a small system up in my truck and when I engage the key the sub hits non-stop. Remember I'm an idiot at car audio.

 

go over the wiring again something is crossed wrong

 

all i did was connect the power + ground + ignition wire to the amp everything else was connected, and the RCA's sorry forgot those

what wires would I check?

 

Amp turn on wire should go the the amp turn on lead on the head unit.

 

that could be a tough one...

 

might be a bad ground where'd you ground it too

 

the frame

 

you went outside the cab to the frame? interesting

 

Yea is that bad?

 

I used the seat belt bolt.

 

I could't get it loose, They used a torque wrench and I have no powertools around.

 

i grounded mine to the sit and yes it took a lot of effort for me but i got it

 

I just used a socket to get it off.

 

You have constant power to an imput somewhere. Either through the RCAs, maybe a short or bare spot in the wire or a crimp, or through the amp, once again a short, or a power wire crossed with a speaker wire. Start by unplugging the RCA cables, and see if it stops.

 

I unplugged the RCA's and yes it stopped.

 

vola problem solved no more bass...


maybe take the screw driver off top of the amp thats touching two terminals....





lol sorry had to

 

then your rca wires bare or crushed

 

will regular rca's for your home stuff work so i can test it?

 

ya that do thats what i have in mine

 

There is the possibility that the pre-amp outputs on the radio are fried. But I hope it's just the wires.

 

that what i am thinking to but it might be the wire i am run off the stock radio and pulling it off the back speaker and run it into a crossover and then in to my amp

 

k give me about 10 gotta search for some cables

 

Heck I'm off a stock 6-disc, LOC by Jensen.

 

and if it is not that it might be the out ports on the radio or the the in port on the amp this is my theory

 

nice dude
