cheez Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 (edited) if it makes the weird thump when its meant to be playing it generally says that either the amp's channel that your running off is playing up and sending an incorrect signal or that the amp itself is tuned way to high for the recommended setting of the sub. btw has it only just recently started to make the noise or is this from a new amp/sub set up? if your located in the northen burbs of melb your more than welcome to bring it round to my place and i can have a look at it.

Fixxxer Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 When I started to hear distortion in my car I originally thought I had blown a rear speaker. Turns out it was the sub, the cone had separated from the rubber surround. But really this could be a lot of things. Try another sub if you have one/can borrow one, that will rule out your sub packing it in.

trism Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 alright, so im assumung that when you listening to music, the sub just randomly starts thumping? few things you need to check. 1 make sure that your rcas arent shorting out anywhere. 2. make sure that they are plugged in securely to the headunit, and to the amp 3. make sure that the amp is grounded properly, and is receiving sufficient power 4. ensure that all your speaker cables are secure, and arent shorting out. if this doesnt fix the problem, then take the amp out, and try it in another car. if it still does it, the amp is most likely fuxxord Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/149432-weird-distorted-sounds-from-the-sub-not-normal-kind/#findComment-3504965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
