PearlLex Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Hopefully someone here knows the answer. A few days ago we put in my 15" Eclipse + 500W Rockford amp in my car. It sounds really good, loud and clean. Whenever I start the car though, it LOUDLY hits bass for about 2 seconds until the car is started. Also, wheneever I turn the radio completely off, bass hits constantly BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltJeff Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 sounds like the amp is on at all time....I would see if it is defective. Most amps are slow on so they don't do the pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 also sounds like a voltage reverb turn down the settings on the amp or get a pro to check the wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsal Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 i have the exact same trouble and was going to post the same question awhile back.im not sure why its doing it but i tied my remote wire into the radio fuse so maybe the amp is always on when the car is running.what i think im going to do is put the remote line in a different spot and see if it stops it.i know exactly how you feel because when i start my car all i hear is boom.then i shut the radio off when i have to go thru a car wash and once again i hear a boom only it stays on.im going to try mine tomorrow and i will post if i fix it.

es3doubleO Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I have the same problem too, what i did was i ran the remote wire up to the front and put a switch on it so when i start the car or turn the radio off i could also turn the amp off. I used the speaker to rca converter to connect my amp because i didn't want to change the stock deck, so i think the reason why this loudly bass comes for about 2 seconds is because the amp doesn't know when to turn itself off and on because the stock deck as no remote wire and the antenna motor only gets power when the antenna goes up or down so the amp must stay on all the time.

es3doubleO Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 skperformance, can you find this wire that we can connect our remote wires to and tell us which one it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsal Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 that would help good if anyone knows a better wire to atatch the remote too because i tried everything but it still does it.the problem is the amp is turning itself on when you start the car and it takes the radio a few seconds to come on so thats why it makes that sound.if someone knows a better wire let me know.
