audio problems

[gen2teg]

i have 2 10 in. kickers in a ported box. im havin a problem with the thumb of them i have a 600 watt amp bridged for both tens. i have a hatch back and was wonderin if i should change boxes or get more power to them.. then i have a rhythmic thump. i was wonderin if i could be the amp causin that or if the amp is just under powered.. i have a sony explod deck

[kpr10is]

so what exactly is the problem?

[gen2teg]

i thumps in a continuous rhythum with no music and i have a 90 integra hatch back and was wonderin if a ported box was the type that is right for the car

what gauge wire you running to your amp and how many ohms is the amp????

[gen2teg]

the wire is 8 gauge i belive and im not sure bout the ohms i would have to get back to on that i have had it in my car for bout a month. i didnt install it my friend did and the amp was his he gave it to me

I dont understand what is happening... there is a constant sound coming from it? "thumb"?

[gen2teg]

the subs flex and thumb with no music being played... thats all i can say i dont know how else to explain it..... i think its under powered

[93ex]

do you mean THUMP?

Does it do it if the stereo is OFF? like physically turn off the head unit, and see if it still does it. Try a different preout. Unplug the rca on the amp and see if it still does it.

[kpr10is]

If it does do it with the stereo off, either try moving the preout like Jesse said, or try a different wire for your remote. I actually witnessed an install with a Visonik amp, high low converted, where with the radio on it worked fine but if you turned the radio off there would be a constant THUMP, like 40hz or so :dunno:

[gen2teg]

ill do that in the morning and yes i mean thump sry was doin like three things at once at school.... even with the sterio off it does it

remote wire.

[gen2teg]

my remote wire is wired to a switch so if a cop pulls up i can switch the subs of that is done corectly i know that cuz i did that part
:dunno:

[kpr10is]

so narrow down your problem from there. if you hook it up the same way as it is now but take out the switch and it still has the same problem, then the switch didnt affect anything. if you hook it up to the accessory (red) wire at the back of your deck with/without the switch and it works or doesnt work....go from there and you will narrow down your problem pretty quickly.

[gen2teg]

it does it when i have the power to the back of my deck that is why i have the switch besides for the cops cuz i dont have the money to pay for a ticket because of a noise violation...........

[gen2teg]

nm ill just pay for sumone to fix it when i get the money

[kpr10is]

it does it when i have the power to the back of my deck that is why i have the switch besides for the cops cuz i dont have the money to pay for a ticket because of a noise violation...........
umm...yes your remote wire is supposed to go to the back of your deck.

come on dont pussy out now this is an easy fix

[TBSpyder]

So you have the remote wire run to the remote on the back of your deck?

[gen2teg]

i did but it didnt work it made the thump noise the wouldnt turn my amp on

[Mickey'SE-R]

sounds like some cheap stuff...maybe you need a different amp or sterio

[gen2teg]

thanks i have solved my problem

[93ex]

Well? what was it?

[gen2teg]

the remote wire was to small and chanels 1&2 the terminals for the audio jack were bad so i switched to 3&4

[93ex]

remote wire was too small? wtf were you using 1 strand?

[gen2teg]

no it was several strands but really small wire.... but wtf its fixed now
