Its a broken signal path in your preamp. If its just happeneing when you use all sources from aux to radio. The amp has likely a blown solder trace, or defective filter cap.

It might also be your aux cord. I don't know how your car is set up but it's the same with mine and i just had to replace my aux cord.

Major hummimng noise when sub is connected to receiver.

Is the hum in the receiver-attached speakers or the sub?


Self-powered sub?


How is the sub attached - RCA or speaker-level?


Disconnect the input(s) and see if it hums in the absence of an audio source. A bad audio cable shield or unwisely-routed audio cables will allow entrance of unwanted signals from external power sources, magnetic fields, even dimmer-controlled track lights. Sometimes, simply reversing the orientation of the ac power plug can eliminate humming.


If it hums with the sub attached, unplug the sub's power cord. Differences in AC ground potentials will generate hum across linked devices.

I have a yamaha yst sw320 subwoofer connected to a yamaha dsp-a595a amp. I recently disconnected my equipment and when i reconnected it im getting a feedback hum/noise through the sub. I've tried...

Subs don't go to a variety of connections on the amp. Let's stop guessing and stick with the prescribed one.

If you have hum on the sub, is it there with and/or without the input cable attached?

Make the sub pop and hum and no rca wire are hooked in?

first off nice choice on the amp check ur power and ground connections make sure the main battery to bady ground is good if questionable add a new one cant hurt to have extra grounds from the batt to the body make sure the amp ground is as short as u can make it make sure its grounded to bare metal if any of these dont work u may have a prob inside ur amp

Noise in my car amp.

My sub is making a humming sound

Hey austinpippen,
The noise you are experiencing is due to your rca plug shorting out causing a loop, in outher words, bad earth.
Try getting a noise filter, you take your rca plug and plug it into the noise filter, then wire it to the amp!
you can try a ground loop isolator or relocating your ground [earth].
I hope this helps you out.
Fingers crossed.

Jl audio 500/1 amp low ohm light at high volume

I would try running the subs in parallel. Pos to Pos Dual Voice, Neg to Neg Dual Voice. Then Run + to + stereo - to - stereo on both channels.
So you have + and - running to one channel and + and - running to the other channel.
Also your LPF filter could be set too high.

The protect light stays on

is your amp grounded well?
are all of your fuses fine?
connections to stereo?

if all else fails you might have blown your amp like mine, you can see about getting it fixed but i just found another one.

how many watts is your amp? how much does your sub need?
