RCA's Blown?

**bad__boy911** · 03-11-2007, 05:42 AM

i am running a 2000 watt amp bridged between two 1000 watt ppioneer subs... i just bought another amp to run my 6x9's and i unhooked the wiring form my 2000 watt amp too test this amp i just bought and it worked for a litle while then i changed the speaker wires around while the music was going and the speakers went all crackly... it isnt the speaker cause i re ran them through the head unit to test them and they worked fine...
i ran the wires back through my other amp and it had the same effect... could it be the rcas or something else?

thanks

It could be I would reccomend taking the rcas out of the car and physicaly twisting them to remove any unwanted noise. Let us know if that works for ya!

Did you at some point hook the new amp to the subs? Sounds like maybe the amp clipped? Depending on the speaker, it could still be blown speaker(s) causing the problem...even though you checked them through the HU, depending on a few factors of the speakers, the HU may not be sufficient power to reproduce the crackling, although the speakers may actually be blown. For what its worth, you shouldn't be juggling wires around on your amp while it is being used to produce music. You could have blown the speakers by connecting the new amp to those power-hungry subs and clipping the wave, or connecting the 6x9s to the monster amp. You could have blown them simply by not adjusting gains properly or by underpower them. It might be an RCA issue or even reverse polarity. Did you maybe mix up the + and - on the speakers, that could do it.

IF the fuse was blown you wouldn't hear crackling, you wouldn't hear anything. Still as night. Has to be something else. Start as basic as you can and add comonents until you've found the problem. Add one channel, one speaker, the other channel, like that.
