The soft start on a amp keeps the speakers from popping when you turn it on, I thought that it would do the same when you turn it off..It sounds like some kind of surge..It is only this amp that is doing it.. The Eclipse amp running the highs is not acting up..This amp is brand new and the head unit is also..
same my 900w system wired directly to battery just to maek sure it wasnt my ground when i turn off the head up unit it pops all speakers ??? help

Most amps come with a soft start up that illiminates this problem... Im guessing that your amp does not have this feature and thats why you hear it. Read the manual and see if it states anythign about this.

Alot of amps and speaker crossover have protection circuits built into them so when you turn up the music to much it's there so you don't blow your speakers. Try turning down the gain on the amp if that does'nt work check your speaker wiring for out of phase meaning
+ - wires are backwards. To test them use a 9v Battery touch the speaker wire to the + - terminals on the battery if the speaker pops out it's inphase and good if it pops in it is out of phase reverse wires and if all that checks out get a stonger amp.
turn on the amp and you know that the amp is good and you hear nothing
1. paralell wiring on speakers that are the wrong impedance very often will silence speakers to a eternal sleep along with that amp.
2. 4 ohm speakers mistaken for 2 ohm and are 8 ohm speakers mistaken for 4 ohm, the amp sees this load and it causes a overload on either side of the amp internal filter
( that's what makes the "pop sound") amp pops inside, literally makes a "pop" sound
you get a no sound
Ground Loop Isolators are nice, but if you want truly crystal clear sound, you will need to run a common ground. All electronics will need to be run close to the amp, as more than about 3 feet of ground wire from the amp can cause sound issues. When I ran my common ground, I connected my radio and satellite together, and ran one sigle ground wire to the backseat of my car, where the amp grounds are located. This will optimize the clarity of the sound coming through the speakers. For the popping sound in the speakers when the car is powered on or off, you need to see if the radio itself has a wire to power the remote connection on the amp. Most of the time, they will, and this is the wire you will use to turn on the amp itself, as it delays each item powering on and reduces the chance of popping in the speakers. DO NOT run the remote wire from the amp to the accessory wire of the radio, as this will cause the popping sound you are hearing. If the radio does not have an Amp Turn-on wire, then you may need to improvise by using an accessory wire in another location, but even this is may cause popping as well. The pop comes from multiple things turning on at once, so the Amp Turn-on wire delays the amps for just a moment, preventing the pops.
If the previous radio played all the speakers and the new one wont either:
1. You have not hooked the speakers up right.
2. All your speakers are blown.
3. There is a factory amp, you just don't know about it.
4. The radio has blown final outputs.
5. One or more speakers or speaker wires is seeing a ground (shorted out)
First check the radio, hook up a know good test speaker directly to the speaker outputs on the radio. If it works, then take a 9volt battery and try to pop the inside speakers with it. When you touch the + & - speaker wires to the battery + &- you should hear a pop at the speaker. If you do you don't have an amp. If you don't you might have an amp or the wire going to the speaker is dead or shorted out. It is unlikely that all four speakers would be bad or have bad wires. If none of them will pop you need to turn on the factory amp. Then they will play. If only one speaker wont pop then that is the bad speaker. If they all pop then you have a bad speaker or wire.
Its a wiring issue. Check the wiring harness (if used) and make sure all wires are intact. Same with the wires at the speakers. Make sure all speakers and head unit are properly grounded. Hope this helps!
Switch the wires on the two speakers at the box and see if the problem moves to the other speaker. If the second speaker starts popping and the first one stops, the problem is in your amplifier. If the same speaker keeps popping then you probably have a blown sub.
Hi Jon, you need to hook the Remote wire up to the Radios Blue remote wire. The car battery power stays on all the time. The blue Remote wire watches to see when the radio turns on, and signal the amp to turn on as well.
Your units drawing too much current. it could be a wireing problem, a speaker problem, or the amp has a problem. the correct way to troubleshoot this would first do or have the amp bench tested. Or you can remove all the speakers and wires and turn up the amp. If the fuse still pops,have the amp serviced. Good Luck
