Lately my stereo has been actiong up again. The past 2 years it will get this loud popping noise when i turn or brake or accelerate. Basicly anytime a wire could have a chance to move. I have new amps so thats ot the problem it did this with the old amps. I put a new install kit in with new wire and new groundping point still does it. All the speakers have new wire and solid connections. But when ever i take the head unit and EQ out it wont do it then i will put it back togheter and in a few months it will do it again. I thought it was the EQ i had in there so i put a different EQ in. Still does it. Could my RCA wire from the Head Unit to the EQ gone bad?. I have 2 seperate amps and the noise comes through my subs and all 4 speakrs. The rca wires are the last thing i can possibly think of. No grounds are touching nothing. Any Ideas. Im tired of haveing to mess with my stereo every couple months.

 

Hmmm...first you should check the engine compartment. See if the power wire (running to your battery) is loose and flopping around. If it's not something simple like that, then I'd go ahead and replace the RCA wire running to the EQ. But that's weird, popping when you make turns and stuff?

 

i had that problem once turned out to be a lose wire from the battery

 

Are you grounding the amps proberly with a distrobution block?

Did you sand down the paint where you grounded your amps?

Try using a bolt and nut istead of a sheet metal screw. I had a simular problem on my install in my old saturn. Sanded away the paint and used a 1/4 bolt, washers, and nut, problem solved.

If this is happening to all drivers, then try looking at thinks taht are common to all of them!

If you have seperate interconnects (RCAs) going to both amps then thats probaly not your problem. But if you have your amps chained together with one RCA from HU to 1st amp then another from output from 1st to 2nd amp, look and the main RCA coming from the HU to 1st Amp

What about making sure all connecting on the harness (if you used one) are soldered and crimped to ensure possite connection is made?

I would check Grounding of amps and connections at the HU first besided that i'm clueless

 

Try upgrading the geound wire for you amp/eq

 

See the thing is it did this with my old amp and old install kit with 10 guage wire i now have 4 guage wire i am realy leaning tords a bad rca but it dosen tmake sence why it does it when i turn or accelerate sometimes.

 

here is another thought. i had a problem similar to this. the RCA i used at one time would touch together sometimes. not the outside part the part that holds onto the plug. might want to check that. sorry if i confused you.

if i were you i'd make sure you have a good set of queality rca cables and when you run them in your car make sure you run them on the OPPOSITE side you have your power and remote wire.... running them together will cause static and disturbance.... also make sure all your wire connections that are behind the headunit are all covered.... when you shove the unit in place something might be touching... thats all the ideas i got... just be sure to check that rca cable and reroute if neccessary
